2017 Nierstein PETTENTHAL Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2017 Nierstein Pettenthal Riesling "GG" is super clear, precise and flinty on the bright and complex, very stony-mineral nose with its concentrated fruit aromas. Rich and round on the palate, this is a full-bodied, very juicy and fruit-intense as well as refined Pettenthal with a long and structured, still somewhat bitter finish. Needs time. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020. - Stephan Reinhardt, Mai 2020

Mosel Fine Wines: This 2017er Niersteiner Pettenthal GG displays a beautifully smoky nose of white flowers, grapefruit, lime, white orchard fruits and almond. It proves superbly spicy and loaded with ripe acidity on the very pure and delicately dense and deep palate. The finish manages to be superbly subtle and pure. This gorgeous and delicately ample dry Riesling is not at all a loud wine but one where multi-layered purity and finesse do the talking. 2025-2037. Okt. 2018

Vinous: Pungent evocations of wood smoke, kumquat and lemon zest set the tone for a piquantly gripping, highly stimulating albeit austere impression. The wine’s firm feel and pithy sense of concentration only enhance its formidable grip. A piercingly penetrating finish sets the seal on a severe yet undeniably impressive performance. I would give this some time in bottle before popping a second cork. - David Schildknecht, Jul. 2019
