RATINGS

98-99The Wine Advocate

...clear, deep, intense and complex bouquet of iodine slate aromas intertwined with lemon oil notes and those of crushed stones... Full-bodied, dense, yet crystalline and saline on the palate, this is a powerful, rich and persistent Hermannshöhle with a long, complex and aromatic finish with fine tannins and stimulating lemon bitters.

98James Suckling

Power, complexity and brilliance make this a truly remarkable dry riesling, the touch of creaminess from long sur-lie maturation giving this exactly the soft touch it needs to balance the steely minerality that powers it at the imposing yet totally vibrant finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Highly aromatic with blossom and citrus. Silky texture, utmost fruit purity and perfect freshness.
