Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle 'Magnus' Riesling Trocken

Score

98

"A great expression of the famous Hermannshöhle site, this is a gentle giant of a dry Riesling. The nose is as complex as a 17th-century still life painting with rows of fruit and flowers almost perfectly arranged. The medium-bodied palate is very similar, marrying succulence, structure and finesse in a nearly ideal manner. And all of this finds its completion in the fabulously long finish. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Magnus is a selection of the best parcels, chosen once the wines are made, from across the site. A large portion of this was made in various sizes of wood. Stone and lemon zest travel alongside a delicate hayflower scent. The palate is the picture of poise. A zesty, slender, streamlined body thrills with freshness, direction and elegance. The 2023 is intense, chiseled, precise and linear, so clean-cut. What a total joy. (Bone-dry)"
