Description
“Enormously concentrated, with a symphonic nose of exotic fruit and hibiscus that rolls over you in one great wave. Then comes the juicy, dense and extremely precise yet only medium-bodied palate. The deep minerality complements the rich fruit so beautifully. Drink or hold. (9/23/21)” 98 Stuart Piggott
“The 2020er Dhroner Grosser Hengelberg Riesling “Monopollage” is an off-dry wine (with 12 g/l of residual sugar) picked in this vineyard solely tended by the Estate. It offers a hugely backward but quite impressive nose made of quince, herbs, spices, apricot blossom, and smoky elements, all wrapped into firm residual scents from its spontaneous fermentation. The wine is gorgeously playful yet also not devoid of presence on the otherwise nicely focused palate and leaves a huge feel of wet stone, smoke, and herbs in the long and quite intense finish. The aftertaste is still not offering much at first. This wine currently takes a few days to reveal its inner core. It will be a cracker at maturity. 2030-2040” 93 Mosel Fine Wines
