Reichsrat von Buhl - Ungeheuer GG 2015

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2015 (Forster) Ungeheuer GG is lemon in color and still cloudy. Very deep, pure and complex on the nose, this wine shows ripe yellow fruits intertwined with flint stones, lemon and some floral aromas. Fresh and elegant on the dense and well-structured palate, this Riesling is very piquant and salty. It has blackcurrant aromas and endless grip, tension and salinity. This is a powerful and very promising Ungeheuer of great elegance and expression. There is so much grip and tension in this wine, so much structure that it might turn out to be one of the best dry Rieslings in the Pfalz, and probably in all of Germany in 2015."

FALSTAFF: "Schweigsam in der Nase, verschlossen. Nur langsam zeigt er Noten nach Blüten, Zitrus und gelber Frucht. Im Antrunk sticht die Struktur die Frucht aus, mineralisch fest, ordentlicher Druck am Gaumen, drahtig, spannungsreich mit episch-kühlem Finish."

WEINWISSER: "Helles Strohgelb, erstaunlich cremig-weich, aber nicht zu fett im Aroma, Pinienkerne, Apfel, im Mund knochentrocken, aber keinesfalls sauer, anhaltend, sehr konsequenter Stil, Riesling wie er leibt und lebt."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A big boy that will either bowl you over or be just too much of a good thing. Very ripe and powerful with some tannin helping to give shape to this massive wine with quite a weighty finish."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Rich and creamy, with unctuous, well-structured flavors of apple cobbler, pear tart and peach. Shows intense concentration midpalate, leading to a finish that glistens with lemon curd and honeycomb notes. Drink now through 2025."
