$120
‘The 2022 Riesling Sommerberg Grand cru is grown on pure granite at the top of the Sommerberg, in a little amphitheater in the lieu-dit Sommerberg itself. The wines is surprisingly pale. A gorgeous conifer note is subtle on the nose but easily reaches the sinuses. It is so delicious. The palate is gorgeously strait-laced, absolutely stony, naked, unbuffered, hair-raising and exciting. This is so stony and precise, crystalline, in fact. Acidity is milder than ususal, but the stoniness and the arrow-like nature are exactly what I expect. (Bone dry).’ 94 points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous Media, January 2024.
