Knipser's 2020 Riesling Steinbuckel GG is pure, fresh and precise on the intense and elegant nose that reveals delicate and spicy phenolic notes intertwined with ripe, white fruit aromas. Full-bodied, round and silky on the palate, this is an elegant and grippy, wonderfully tight but still sensual and refined Riesling GG with a long, tight and structured finish. This is a long-distance runner that already tastes impressively well but will gain finesse and complexity with bottle age. Personally, I am currently in love with the 2001 Steinbuckel. 12.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in Neustadt and Laumersheim in June 2023.
