Parker about Kreuzberg Riesling Magnum Versteigerungswein 2017
From very low yielding vines on rocky terroir, the 2017 Zellertal Kreuzberg Riesling is quite open and fresh on the bright and chalky nose. On the palate, this is a dense and concentrated, very complex and powerful Riesling with a very long and salty, finely tannic finish. Very complex and long. The German answer to Armin Tement's Zieregg? Aged in an old 600-liter half piece vat. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020.
