2020 Königsbach ÖLBERG-HART Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken A. Christmann, Pfalz (1,5l)

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

The 2020 Ölberg-Hart Königsbach Riesling Grosse Lage offers a clear, pure, fresh, saline and really classic Riesling bouquet that is clearly influenced by iron notes as well as the ripe and concentrated Riesling berry. Saline and finessed on the palate, this is a tightly structured pure and tensioned dry Riesling with lots of salinity but also ripe and fleshy fruit with fine tannins, both representing a warm, ripe vintage. It is very long and saline on the pure and youthful finish. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt, Dez. 2022

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

If you’re a Barolo fan, then here’s a dry riesling for you! The first impression is silky and suave, but then the massive structure - including tons of fine tannin - asserts itself. The mirabelle and citrus notes just emerging from this deep cave, but the promise is there! From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023. - Stuart Pigott, Juli 2021
