| Description: | 96-97 Wa / 97 JS / 18 Jr. From porphyry soils, the 2021 Felsenberg Gg offers a pure yet intense and elegant, darker toned and flinty bouquet of crushed stones with plummy notes, delicate spices and herbal notes. Full-bodied, pure and fresh on the palate, with fine tannins and ripe and refined acidity, this is a lush and round but finely tannic and aromatic Felsenberg with enormously salinity on the intense and aromatic, crisp and crunchy finish. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022.-- Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate. Welcome to the smoke-hole of radically mineral dry riesling! Here is the dark side of the force, in spite of the yellow-grapefruit zest. Very slowly but steadily opens with aeration. So ripe, yet so savagely original, so precise and subtle. The finish is like licking a samurai sword from the hilt to the tip. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.-James Suckling. Ripe fruit peaks rise up above a dense slate fog. Taut peach, dark stone and vibrant acidity on the palate. Beautiful elegance and craggy complexity. A radio signal of stones, soil and volcanic cliffs. --Paula Sidore, Jancis Robinson |
