Parker about Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese 2017
The 2017 Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese is intense and aromatic on the nose, offering super ripe but elegant and slightly flinty fruit aromas. On the palate, this is a lush, salty-piquant, crystalline and refined Spätlese with grip and a mouthwatering finish. With all its finesse and mineral tension, the 2017 is a picture-book Spätlese from the infamous Goldtröpfchen that already drinks dangerously well. Tasted in March 2019.
