2021 Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling

Bottled five days before I tasted it, the 2021 Berg Schlossberg offers a very clear, pure, fresh and stony bouquet with leafy and lemony notes on the nose. Elegant, fresh and juicy but also pure and tensioned on the palate, this is an ascetic but dense and intense, very sustainable and tensioned Berg Schlossberg with fine tannins and a long, intense, grippy and bone-dry finish that reveals lemony notes again and those of crushed slate and quartzite. A classic and not from this era but pre-global warming. 11.62 % alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022.
