2024 Dr. Hermann, Riesling Trocken "Rotschiefer"

Mens sidste års udgave stammede fra den røde skifer markerne i Kinheim kommer denne tørre ”Rotschiefer fra det øvre Erdener Treppchen og den røde skifer i Ürziger Würzgarten. Spontangæret og lageret i stål. Den åbner med en krydret, let rusten næse med grønne æbler, urter, citrus, våd skifer og hvid fersken. Slank, sprød og helt tør, viser den enormt skiferpræg, syredrive, intensitet og er helt skarpskåren. Koncentreret og voldsom intens, er dette ganske vild tør Riesling fra Hermann.  FAS: 0 (-2035+) ****

94 points Robert Parker Wine Advocate: "Due to frost, the 2024 Riesling Trocken Rotschiefer is not from Kinheim but predominantly from the upper part of the Erdener Treppchen as well as from vineyards in Ürzig. Vinified exclusively in stainless steel tanks, the wine shows a precise, refined and spicy bouquet of red slate, herbs and delicate but ripe and lush tropical fruit aromas. The wine is round, intense and expressive on the palate, yet it is also light, finessed and enormously saline and long. This is one of the many best buys from Christian Hermann. It is mouth-filling, highly stimulating and so characterful, as if it were a grand cru. "
