Julian Haart Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling GC 2017

One of the more powerful dry rieslings from the Mosel this is as finely cut as it is intense. Notes of nettles, grapefruit, cherry, lemon and preserved lime. Full bodied and dense, with a very deep core of fruit, tingled with herbs and savoury spice. Finely textured with dry extract and a spear of acidity that is present from the front of the palate to the carry. Decades ahead. Waters Wine Co

The 2017er Wintricher Ohligsberg was harvested at a refreshingly low 85° Oechsle and was fermented down to bone-dry levels (1 g/l of residual sugar). Undercooled and rather restrained at first, this dry Riesling only slowly reveals its most beautiful nose made of white flowers, mint, candied citrus and herbs. The wine proves beautifully pure, zesty and energetic on the palate. Its structure is comparatively light and could almost appear lean, yet it significantly gains in density and presence in the superbly long, tight and animating finish. What a great dry Riesling in the making! 2022- 2037. 94 points, Mosel Fine Wines
