Weingut Günther Steinmetz
Dhroner Grosser Hengelberg Monopollage Riesling
Mosel, Germany
A nose that screams “Mosel Elite!” Slate, peaches, melon, apricot, some wild mint and herbs as well. Super complex. Fresh grass after a long rain. Fields of wild flowers. Big time scene in nature. Palate is damn near perfect. So complex yet all the parts are in place. Concentrated with extraordinary acidity and juicy peach, pear and melon notes. Wow the acid on this wine is crazy. So complex on the finish with slate, some light tannin and juicy melon and pair. Incredible mineral aftertaste that lasts and lasts. So pure. 1.5 minutes at least on the finish. Will open more. Stunning wine.
As this airs the slate aromas are just drop dead. Now there are pineapple and guava aromas along with stunning peaches. Palate is so complex and fruity but with a massive mineral intensity. 9.7 to 9.8 now.

Terrific. So dense. Big minerals and acids.
Not a typical Mosel Riesling. Much more Rheinhesseny.
Nose: peach skin. Some mountain stream. Yellow peaches. Confectionery.
Palate Candied pink grapefruit pith. Perfect peach. Huge fruit. Unreal deliciousness. Amazing density. The fruit of an auslese but dry. Sweet minerals. Sick spice. Amazing balance in a big frame.
Ultimately really effing delicious.
