"The radical structure is wrapped in fabulous richness to create a wonderfully captivating whole. Yes, this has deep stone fruit and orange aromas, but at the moment this is the least obvious side of this embryonic masterpiece. The almost supernatural energy in here is very hard to wrap your head around and it will take this giant a while to open up. Mind-blowingly long and intense finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Forster Ungeheuer G.C. is from a warmer parcel with some basalt amidst the sandstone and deeper soils. The nose has a gentle citrus peel, like Meyer lemon and tangerine, which is subtly scented and enticing. The palate continues in this zesty, citric vein, tingling and teasing with fruit but remaining essentially stony and rounded. This is svelte and zesty and echoes with citrus. The 2022 is pure, totally stony and linear. (Bone-dry)"
