2020 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Q.b.A. trocken Robert Weil, Rheingau (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2020 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Q.b.A. trocken, Robert Weil

Vinified in stück and doppelstück (1,200- and 2,400-liter barrels, respectively) and aged on the full lees until the end of July, the 2020 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Trocken shows a fascinating, deep, intense and generous as well as complex and aristocratic bouquet of ripe yellow fruits and crushed dark stones. The Turmberg is darker-toned and deeper than the Klosterberg, maybe also even more complex and provided with substantial but elegant fruit. Full-bodied, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a lush, intense and expressive, seriously structured, very long, complex and tensioned Turmberg with a spectacularly long, multilayered and persistently salty finish. Seriously, the Turmberg has never been better than in 2020. For the first time since its re-activation in 2005, the Turmberg premier cru is on grand cru level. Its aftertaste is incredibly dense and compact but also salivating and provided with the energy and expression of a great wine. A Must Buy of the vintage and a Best Buy as well! Magnums preferred. Tasted at the domain in August 2021. - Stephan Reinhardt, Sep. 2021

James Suckling - 2020 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Q.b.A. trocken, Robert Weil

Although this is still quite yeasty (it was only recently filtered and bottled), the white-currant and Amalfi-lemon aromas already pour from the glass of this very concentrated and racy Rheingau riesling. I love the very long, cool and super-stony finish. A great example of the progress this region has made with dry wines in recent years! Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott, Sep. 2021
