Dhroner Grosser Hengelberg Monopollage Riesling
Mosel, Germany
Soaring aromas of apricot, cardamon, Xmas spice, slate, peach but below all that and on top of that is exuberant minerality. The fruit is between two slabs of stone and spice. There is such clarity and vividness to the aromas. Gorgeous. Palate is super complex and fresh with unreal purity. Wow what acids. This is electric and so balanced. Finished with peach and minerals. And what a finish. It’s so nimble, racey and elegant. Opulent in all the right places. What minerality. As much as the nose suggest mega fruit the palate is like 80% minerality. Wonderful freshness. This is so drinkable but I also know it’s holding a lot in reserve. Brilliant!

Much better than our previous bottle. Very ripe, lovely structure, medium acid, god’s own nectarines. Opulent stuff.

Wow. Just a punch in the face on open.
Massive concentration. More rheinhessen levels of concentration. As this opens nose is like great mosel auslese.
Palate is dense and so pure. Mineral. Balancing acidity for freshness. Amazing freshness. The ripeness is very high for the Mosel but this is a super low yield site in a ripe year. You do get those stone fruits but the minerality goes toe to toe with it. And it’s fresh so the acidity is there. Crunchy minerals.
As it opens. More opulent. Finish is liquid sex. Coats the palate. Woooow.
