2020 Maximin Grünhaus ABTSBERG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken Maximin Grünhaus, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2020 Maximin Grünhaus ABTSBERG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Maximin Grünhaus

The 2020 Abtsberg GG is clear, deep and precise on the nose that combines flinty terroir aromas with very clear and elegant Riesling aromas. Lush and piquant on the palate, this is a delicate and pure, tensioned, energetic and persistent dry Abtsberg with a firm structure, good intensity and finessed power on the long finish. Excellent. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021. - Stephan Reinhardt, Sep. 2021

Mosel Fine Wines - 2020 Maximin Grünhaus ABTSBERG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Maximin Grünhaus

The 2020er Maximin Grünhaus Abtsberg Riesling Trocken GG was fermented spontaneously and matured in traditional old Fuder casks. It offers a beautifully restrained yet complex nose of smoke, herbs, lavender, lime, grapefruit, cassis, lead pencil, white flowers, and fine spices, packed into primary scents of residues from its spontaneous fermentation. The wine proves very precise and refined on the zesty and focused palate and leaves a superb feel of cut and intensity in the finish. While it is still on the primary side, the wine already shines with its very spicy, very salty, and smoky side. It will take a few years for it to reach its maturity. 2026-2040. - Sep. 2020

James Suckling - 2020 Maximin Grünhaus ABTSBERG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Maximin Grünhaus

Still very young and quite yeasty, but tasting this is like gazing down into a deep canyon from the edge. A radically mineral wine that packs staggering concentration into a sleek silhouette (just 12% alcohol). So much wild-herb character! Drinkable now, but better from 2023. - Stuart Pigott, Sep. 2021
