Gustave Lorentz Riesling Grand Cru Kanzlerberg 2020 ØKO

James Suckling

Aromas of green honeydew melon, meringue, and ruby grapefruit followed by paraffin and lots of fresh greens with exotic saffron and honey characters. Medium-bodied with bright refreshing acidity, and a mineral and flinty finish. Energetic and vibrant wine that has a distinctive personality. From organically grown grapes.

Decanter

This is an exceptional wine with engaging typical aromas of minerals, sage, white flowers and smoke. The palate offers crunchy citrus flavours and a minerally acidity that creates the freshness, phenomenal length and lingering salty aftertaste. A rare beauty!

Imponerende duft … kan man vist roligt sige, for vinen har en let, luftig og overjordisk aroma, hvor der først kommer petroleumdampe og frugtig terpentin frem. Der er en afrundet fedme, fadnoter og så samtidig liflig, dansende og delikat frugt, der både er pærer, ananas, kantalupmelon og lemonskal … samt noget toast og nøddemasse. Sådan smager vinen også … virkelig lækker og imponerende, virker rund og samtidig luftig, let på tå med sart, fin og elegant lys frugt af både pærer, ananas, mango, abrikos og lemon … men alt doseret så forsigtigt og sensibelt, følsomt og himmelsk. Syren er blid, men den bakkes op af en lemonfrisk syre med sødlig bitterhed og samlet set absolut henrivende vin. 95 point. Forhandles af Supervin, hvor en flaske koster 419,95 kr., mens prisen er 279,95 kr. ved køb af 6 flasker.

Notes of wet earth are suffused with aromas of lemon peel and yellow apple on this wine's open nose. More air adds lifted hints of dried hayflowers. On the precise, concentrated palate, the central shaft of buffered freshness is pervasive and bright. The texture is smooth and rich, but very poised. It finishes dry and long.

Wine Review Online

I haven’t tasted this wine for at least five vintages, which makes me very sad about the releases that I missed. It offers wonderfully complex aromas, with subtle floral topnotes and lovely lemon crème scents, followed by richer fruit flavors recalling tangerine above all, and then excellent minerality riding right alongside the fruit in the finish. The acidity is abundant but perfectly integrated with the fruit, and in overall terms, every aromatic and flavor note seems perfectly proportioned in this impressively harmonious wine. Truly, a thing of beauty.

Heavy bottle. Smells of rain-wet slate steaming in hot-summer morning sun, smells of petrichor, smells of lemon blossom, smells of lemon verbena crushed on your fingers, of a ripe greengage, just broken open. I held this wine in my mouth and stopped. Its power, tremulously held, tasted like the sound of a cello string. One tiny sip, and the finish went on and on and on. Strangely silent, yet filling the air with this haunting reverberation. Reverberating, yet strangely still, as if it holds a quiet space within itself. A wine that, if I were to draw its shape, I would draw a parabola on a line graph with both horizontal and vertical axes - symmetry, curve, linearity, precision, every point loaded with meaning, a story in a shape.
