Robert Weil Riesling Kiedrich Klosterberg trocken 2021

-93 Punkte James Suckling, Stuart Pigott: „Seriously complex nose with a slew of stone fruit aromas with touches of candied and preserved lemon. A slew of cool minerality is packed into this wine’s sleek silhouette and the racy acidity drives this across the palate at a brisk clip. Wonderful herbal freshness at the long, tightly wound finish.“ Drink or hold.
-92 Punkte Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, S. Reinhardt: „The 2021 Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken is based on macerated fruit (6-18 hours) that was fermented spontaneously in 100% large oak vats. The wine was never racked, except for the bottling in late June. Full-bodied, rich and powerful yet elegant and balanced on the palate, this is a relatively smooth and saline, pretty long and crystalline Riesling with fine tannin grip and a long, aromatic finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022.

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."
-88 Punke WEIN PLUS: „Etwas frisch-pflanzlicher bis kräuteriger und einen Hauch ätherischer Zitrus-Steinobstduft mit floralen Spuren und etwas Mineralik. Recht fest gewirkte, unentwickelte, noch zart hefige, nicht restlos trockene Frucht, lebendige Säure, Griff von reifem Gerbstoff und an Petersilie erinnernde, frische kräuterig-pflanzliche Nuancen, nachhaltig am Gaumen, hat Biss, ein Hauch Kandis und Preiselbeeren am Gaumen, helle mineralische Töne, angedeutet weißer Pfeffer, noch jung, etwas Tiefe, recht dunkle Aromatik, sehr guter Abgang mit Zug und Limettentönen.“ Trinkempfehlung: Mitte 2023 bis 2028+
