Description
“The 2020er Dhroner Hofberg “GD” (a wordplay on Grosser Dhroner) is a legally dry wine made from fruit picked in the classical part of the vineyard. It still proves massively reduced and only gradually reveals some scents of cassis, herbs, spices, a hint of apricot blossom, and minty elements, all wrapped into chalky minerals and residual elements of oak (the wine did see some fully used barrique). The wine is firm and structured yet also gorgeously light-footed and playful on the nicely dry-tasting rather than bode-dry palate and leaves a superb feel of fruits, minerals, and herbs in the long finish. This is a gorgeous Riesling with quite some cut, great delineation, and lots of presence in the making. 2025-2035” 93 Mosel Fine Wines
“Still very young, but so much power is pressed into this sleek frame. Medium body, married to very ripe mirabelle and apricot fruit. The richness and the freshness are exactly matched. Long, very clean wet-stone finish that’s so invigorating. Drink or hold. (9/23/21)” 94 Stuart Piggott
