Riesling Ried Kellerberg trocken 2016

Lobenberg: Das Riesling-Flagschiff von Pichler Krutzler. Was für eine Farbe: grün, gelb, in feinste Nuancen unterteilt. Konzentrierte Nase. Sich langsam öffnend. Am Gaumen eine unvergleichliche Pfirsichfrucht, ein bisschen verhalten. Ein ungeheuer rassiges Säurespiel. Sehr mineralisch. Vielschichtig mit toller Tiefe und Länge. 96-97+/100

-- Parker: Picked late and tasted as a sample in July 2017, the 2016 Dürnsteiner Riesling Ried Kellerberg has a deep, concentrated and flinty bouquet of ripe stone fruit flavors intertwined with crushed stone notes. Full-bodied, round and elegant, with lush and juicy fruit, very fine acidity and lingering salinity, this is a silky textured, gorgeously juicy and balanced Riesling that did not ferment to fully dry. Great aging potential! 95-96/100

-- Suckling: This not only has lovely, ripe, peachy fruit, aromas of tropical flowers and beautiful succulence, but also some serious concentration and great tension. Elegant acidity pushes the long mineral finish a long way out. Drink or hold. 94/100

-- Wine Enthusiast: Citrus foliage and tangerine zest notes play softly on the nose of this wine. The palate fizzes quietly, like a toned-down lemon sherbet. Everything shows that this is a very young wine with great concentration and potential. The lemon note captures the slender, linear palate and creates a lip-smacking finish. Drink 2018–2030. 94/100
