2023 Donnhoff - Felsenberg Grosses Gewachs (750ml)
96-98 Points
"The 2023 Riesling Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg Felsentürmchen

Grosses Gewächs is picked in the fully south-facing site of porphyry

and melaphyr. Cornelius Dönnhoff says this is the most challenging

site to work, simply because the stones are so hard and unforgiving,

retaining almost no water. Thus, a year like 2023 was brilliant for this

site. It is always the first GG site to be harvested because the rock

retains heat from the day. Tender reduction still casts a flinty spell on

the nose. Lovely savor implies crushed citrus foliage merged into iron

oxide on the nose. The palate is taut, citric, bright with immense

linearity, moving with absolute ease and direction, with energy and

punch, towards a zesty, cool finish, long, sustained, all with savor and

saltiness. The 2023 is a total joy of clarity, direction and stony poise.

This is so elegant, so slender, so powerful, and no, this is not a

contradiction. (Bone-dry)
