2021 Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling, Grosses Gewachs, Schlossgut Diel

The 2021 Goldloch GG is open and apparently more generous on the aromatic yet refined and flinty nose that reveals deep, pure, fresh and concentrated fruit intertwined with crushed and weathered wet stone aromas. Silky, crystalline and very elegant on the palate, this is a salty, savory and sustainable structured Riesling with crystalline acidity, structure and remarkable finesse. It is stimulatingly saline on the palate and very long yet needing time to show its talents. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022. ~ (96) Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 11-30-2023

Pull the curtains, turn out the light and let yourself sink into this world of riesling mineral wonder! Still very tightly-wound, this is only just beginning to spread its wings. Great drive at the incredibly focused finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. ~ (96) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 9-22-2022

There's no rushing this Riesling. Supple citrus flavours, more grapefruit than lemon, a dash of orange blossom and apricot, glide across the palate on a sheen of seemingly endless minerality. A deep, pulsating power makes its presence known the longer it stays in the glass. Complex, crystalline and closed, with enormous potential. ~ (18) Paula Sidore, JancisRobinson.com 8-23-2022
