"The 2021 Riesling Hochheimer Hölle Grosses Gewächs, from calcareous clay soils, portrays the ripe juiciness of yellow peach flesh, tempered in 2021 with citric verve. A mere flicker of smokiness still speaks of reduction, but this is a promise. The palate is smooth but absolutely pervaded by lemon and its inherent zestiness. There is something to draw you deeper into the soil, only to reward you with abundant lemon-framed golden, ripe, juicy fruit. Beautiful balance, tempered generosity and zesty verve, all is here in 2021. Wow. (Bone-dry)"
