Schäfer-Fröhlich Riesling Kupfergrube Grosses Gewächs 2018

- 17,5 Punkte WEINWISSER: "Deutliche Spontangäraromatik mit pflanzlichen Noten, die an Küchenkräuter erinnern, nahe am Böckser, bin ja tolerant, aber das ist selbst mir noch zu hefewürzig und wild. Im Mundduftig-geradinig, saftig, hat etwas Speck auf den Rippen, sehr dunkelwürzig, aber auch salzig-mineralisch, fällt nach hinten wunderschön trocken ab. Gute Länge mit vegetabilen Noten."

- 96 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Stephan Reinhardt: "The 2018 Kupfergrube Riesling GG is clear and precise on the aromatic nose that displays enormously ripe and concentrated Riesling fruit that reflects the heat of the vintage, especially in south-facing vineyards like this. Almost raisin flavors here. Crystalline and elegant on the palate, this is a linear and mineral but lush, rich and powerful Riesling with grip and tension and lingering salinity that indicates very good aging potential. 13% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from a bottle declared as Fassprobe (a sample) in October 2019."

- 96 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "A mad, smoky and radically herbal nose makes this something you will either sign up for or reject out of hand. That doesn't matter though, because after another year or two of ageing it will become much clearer that this is one of the most beautiful dry rieslings of the vintage from the Nahe. Drink or hold."
