Thornicher Ritsch Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2021 Carl Loewen

Professionele reviews

James Suckling (95)

Here the cool, dark and austere side of Mosel slate, is married to remarkable concentration and power. With this kind of structure it surely has decades ahead of it. Stunning herbal and crushed rock intensity at the compact and driving finish. Vegan.

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Wet stone, fresh green herbs, deep floral spice and delicate white orchard fruit. All structure and zesty, stony, craggy grip. Striking acidity and a creamy, lemon-curd finish. A thrilling sneak peek of the potential of modern, dry Mosel. Minimalist approach to a powerful wine. Given a bit of time in the glass (and bottle) strength transitions into suppleness. (PS)

Falstaff (94)

Delicate, filigree and light-footed on the nose, with lots of fruity aromas of lychee, white peach and lime, multi-layered. On the palate it shows with drive and clear acidity, citrus fruits, very good extract, dense and balanced, long finish. Lots of potential!
