Schafer-Frohlich Halenberg Riesling GG 2021

98-99 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): “The 2021 Halenberg GG offers a deep, pure, fresh and aromatic yet also rich and intense bouquet with flinty, iodine and plummy aromas but most of all a fascinating purity of darker-toned slate and lime juice aromas. Full-bodied, rich and powerful on the palate, this is a massive, dense and rich, enormously salty and powerful Halenberg with notes of crushed stones and iodine on the finely tannic finish. Very, very long and aromatic as well as juicy. A giant Riesling. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022. Drink: 2028-2060. (Aug 2022)”

97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): “A very dark and slightly austere wine, but with enormous depth. The aromas of candied lemon, grilled lemon and cold-smoked trout bowl you over. Enormously focused and vibrant with brain-rattling energy. Extremely precise and very straight finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023. (8/8/22)”

96 points Fine Wine Review: “Powdered, perfumed nose, very floral. Apricot and nectarine fruit, precise, pure, medium-weight, elegant, long. (8/22/22)”
