2018 Maximin Grünhaus HERRENBERG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken Versteigerung Maximin Grünhaus, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (1,5l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Maximin Grünhaus HERRENBERG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken Versteigerung, Maximin Grünhaus

The 2018 Maximin Grünhaus Herrenberg Riesling Trocken GG offers a more intense and fruity bouquet compared to the Bruderberg GG and reveals toasted bacon notes along with pure stony aromas and concentrated Riesling fruit. Rich and juicy yet well-structured and very mineral on the palate, this is a firmly structured baby of a GG that needs a long time to unfold its talents and reduce its baby richness and fruit. The release date is September 1, 2019; magnums will be sold in the auction in Trier in later September. Tasted from AP 7 19 in June 2019. - Stephan Reinhardt, Aug. 2019

Mosel Fine Wines - 2018 Maximin Grünhaus HERRENBERG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken Versteigerung, Maximin Grünhaus

The 2018er Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, will be sold in magnums at the Auction (the same wine is sold via regular channels in 75cl bottle). It displays a beautiful nose of pineapple, smoke, aniseed herbs, vineyard peach, pear and licorice. Zesty fruits make for a refined and fresh presence on the rather dynamic palate. The wine leaves a fine sense of tartness and lightness in the very long finish. This zest and spicy expression of dry Riesling will need a few years to develop its complexity. 2023-2033 - Aug. 2019
