Tesch Löhrer Berg Riesling 2023

At once deep and delicate, friendly and fascinating, this is a wonderfully cool and gentle dry riesling with ample power. Then the lime and green apple freshness bowls you over in the white light finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. - Stuart Pigott, Senior Editor. 

The 2023 Riesling Trocken Langenlonsheimer Löhrer Berg is clear, intense and elegant on the beautifully aromatic yet also fine and spicy/mineral nose that intermingles ripe apricot aromas with fundamental saline notes and floral/herbal nuances that add a coolish touch to the perfectly ripe and well-articulated fruit. Lush and charming on the palate, this is a textured and well-balanced Riesling from loamy-gravelly soils that guarantee ripe and finely juicy fruit provided with fine, mineral acidity and serious phenol grip. This 2023 should have excellent aging potential, and although it's already mouthfilling, I'd keep enough bottles to see what happens over the next two or three decades. The aftertaste is generously aromatic but also intense and characterized by the firm structure of this full-bodied wine. 13% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in September 2024. -Stephan Reinhardt.
