2020 Königsbach IDIG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken A. Christmann, Pfalz (3l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2020 Königsbach IDIG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, A. Christmann

The 2020 Idig Königsbach Riesling Grosse Lage offers a pure, chalky, fresh, concentrated and iodine- and lemon-scented nose representing the limestone terroir of the cru as well as the warmth of the vintage. Saline and crystalline on the first palate, this is a pure, fresh and concentrated but also lush and vitalizing Riesling with a pure, enormously saline and tensioned finish with fine tannin grip. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt, Dez. 2022

James Suckling - 2020 Königsbach IDIG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, A. Christmann

So deep, it feels like it’s pulling you in the direction of the center of the earth! Yet, another side of the wine seems to float above the world. Radically mineral finish that leaves you in no doubt about this great dry riesling’s future! From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023. - Stuart Pigott, Juli 2021
