Robert Weil Riesling Auslese Kiedrich Gräfenberg 2021 edelsüß

-96 Punkte James Suckling, Stuart Pigott: „Tangerine dream nose! Stunning succulence and vitality on the very concentrated palate. The tension between the richness and electric acidity is something to be experienced. Either you’re tough enough to handle this, or not. Razor-sharp finish in spite of the high natural grape sweetness. Limited production. Enormous aging potential! Drink or hold.“

-96 Punkte Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, S. Reinhardt: „The 2021 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese is pure, refined and piquant on the clear and spicy nose. Lush and round on the palate yet with enormous salinity and tension, this is a rich yet piquant, vital and tensioned Auslese with concentrated yet vivacious fruit and spectacular salinity. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022. 2030-2080.
Wilhelm Weil is enthusiastic about the 2021 vintage. From the end of September, he said it was possible to harvest grapes that were "healthy as a core and rich in extract," which led to "dense cool-climate Rieslings" after the three previous warm vintages (2018–2020). The striking acidity of the vintage is well buffered by the potassium stored in the grapes and allows the Rieslings to shine and dance despite their substance. This was not foreseeable in the fall. But the "enthusiasm curve" rose steeply with the tasting of the young wines in the spring, so Weil is now convinced in the summer that the 2021 vintage will be celebrated in a few years and decades as one of the great ones. For himself, it is also clear that he has not yet processed a better one.“
