97 Points - James Suckling

Enormous power and spiciness are compressed into the sleek silhouette of this super-elegant riesling Kabinett. The aromas need further bottle aging to fully unfurl, but the precision and harmony are already breathtaking. Then comes the extraordinary wet stone and wild herb complexity in the extremely long finish. Expands spectacularly in the glass. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
