Riesling Felsenberg Grosses Gewachs, Weingut Schäfer-Fröhlich 2019

(Schäfer-Fröhlich Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Trocken GG) AP: 18 20. The 2019er Felsenberg Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, offers a beautifully backward yet refreshing nose of smoke, herbal elements, a hint of bacon, greengage, lime tree, white flowers, almond, and ginger-driven spices. The wine only hints at superb density and flavor extract on the focused and zesty palate and leaves a still restrained and slightly tart feel in the hugely long and refined finish. The after-taste proves beautifully refined, intense, and profoundly complex. This super dry Riesling now only needs a few years of patience in order for it to reveal its multi-layered complexity. 2027-2039
