2014 Riesling Grand Cru Hengst

Vininformation

95 point, Wine Enthusiast: "The dried zest of both sweet and bitter oranges lends an almost Mediterranean aspect to the nose of this dry Riesling. The palate continues this play on this zest, pulling further registers of dried mandarin and exquisitely sharp lemon. In the background, somewhere, is a lip-smacking notion of wet stone. This is concentrated and textured, rich but sharply drawn: a perfect picture of the 2014 vintage in all its adult thrill. Drink now through 2038."

93 point og ★★★★★ i Jyllands-Posten: "Let røget udtryk, men også med masser af citrus. Ganske kompleks og lagdelt allerede med en meget fin, præcis syre og et let, elegant udtryk trods den intense koncentration. Tør og rig."

93 point, DinVinGuide: "Sprød og flot vin med røde æbler, flint og krydderier i smagen. Flot, lang afslutning. Meget vellykket."

93 point, RobertParker.com: "The 2014 Riesling Grand Cru Hengst is lovely concentrated but also pure and stony/flinty on the nose, with ripe and intense lemon flavors. On the palate this is a beautifully sincere 2014! It is very intense, piquant and salty, highly precise, finessed, elegant and also lush. This is another Riesling classic that reveals a lingering salinity and gorgeous finesse. Really cool climate and classic Riesling style. Highly stimulating. Picked on October 2nd."

17 point, JancisRobinson.com: "Ripe and lime-fruited, plus a smoky, wild-ferment fumy quality and the beginnings of honey. Honeyed citrus on the palate but with a driving freshness that gives a mouth-watering finish."

92 point, Wine Spectator: "Finely knit and vibrant, this sleek white layers flavors of melon, Meyer lemon zest, fresh tarragon and white pepper over a rich note smokey minerality. Long and lithe, with a firm focused finish. Drink now through 2024."

Renelangdahl.com: "Hengst-markens riesling-evner er kendte – Josmeyer laver den også, og deres 2014 Hengst lugtede røget, dieselpræget og grapeagtigt, mens smagen var rig, fast, dirrende syrlig og mineralsk i en stilunderstregende kølig årgang."

I glasset får du en formidabel, dyb, nuanceret og kraftfuld Riesling, med et væld af fine mieralske toner i den krystalklare smag, der nærmest synger verdensklasse Alsace Riesling. Prøv til f.eks. kammuslinger, pighvar eller en lagret gedeost.
