| Description: | Wine Advocate - 96 Points With cacao and crushed stone as well as concentrated peach aromas, the 2016 Ried Steiner Hund Riesling is subtle, refined and complex on the finely spicy yet deep, complex and elegant nose. Bottled in April this year, this is a full-bodied, dense, juicy, well-concentrated and crystalline-mineral Riesling with lots of power and sustainable grip and concentration. Another long-distance runner yet more puristic and grippy than the 2015 or 2013. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in June 2021. Nikolaus Saahs was "very satisfied" with the 2020 vintage in the summer, although he had first spring frosts, and then the hail on August 22 "fully caught" and significantly decimated the yields. The harvest was correspondingly laborious due to meticulous selections, but the painstaking work was worth it in the end. But as always here, the recent vintage is only a part of the collection, which goes back to the 2007 (Riesling Steinriesler) and even 2002 (Vinothek) vintages here. Jamessuckling.com - 95 Points Where do you start to explain this truly amazing dry riesling that doesn't have anything to do with the regular world of wine? Extraordinarily delicate and complex nose that's so far removed from the normal world that a few regular adjectives say nothing about it. But, yes, this is sleek, very dry and mineral on the palate. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. Stuart Pigott. |
