| Description: | James Suckling - 95 Points This youthful dry Riesling is old school in the best sense of the word, the substantial power elegantly underplayed, the greatness all tucked away in the detail of the finely-nuanced medium-bodied palate. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Glass stopper. ***. Hans-Joseph Becker (call him HaJo) produces incredibly age-worthy, dry Rieslings from the Rheingau. They are unflaggingly honest and present a vocabulary that few Rieslings can match: dried earth and rocks, herbs, something vaguely subterranean, a savory, briny, smoky atmosphere that slowly reveals fine layers of bright citrus. Beckers white wines are like Becker himself: angular, with muscle and sinew pulled tightly over a lean frame. They flaunt a rather prominent acidity that recalls the nervier wines of the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer; though there is a weight and a density that speaks of the Rheingau. They seem to have more to do with great Chablis than with German Riesling. |
