Parker about Rothlauf Silvaner Großes Gewächs 2017
The 2017 Silvaner GG Rothlauf is deep, pure and complex, flinty and minerally concentrated on the nose. Full-bodied, pure and fresh on the palate, this is a salty-crystalline and highly elegant, sweet yet pure and finessed Sylvaner with a long and salty finish. Exciting and powerful, sustainably salty yet still enormously young. Tasted in January 2020.
