Kühling-Gillot Ölberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs (GG) 2020

„The 2020 Ölberg GG is clearer, purer, fresher and stonier on the deep and intensely fruity as well as finely yeasty nose than the Hipping, which is currently dominated by winemaker ideas than the sense of place. Everything is finely interwoven here. Juicy, tight and salty on the palate, with citric limestone impressions, this is a wonderfully round and elegant Riesling with fine tannins and a dense and complex finish. Tasted in Wiesbaden at the end of August 2021.”

"Try to be patient. Funky with a hint of struck match, then ripe mirabelles and a hint of floral honey. At once rich yet finely nuanced on the palate, this has a lot to give, yet remains quite restrained, the finish deep and dark with a ton of minerality. Better after 2021."

"Musky, fusel and bittersweetly gentian- and iris-like floral notes on the nose anticipate the intriguing multiplicity of flavors delivered on a flatteringly silken-textured, full but by no means heavy palate. As witnessed in a number of the wines that preceded this one in Gillot’s vintage 2018 lineup, welcome limey juiciness emerges midpalate and carries animatingly and refreshingly into a finish lent richness by appealing influxes of almond and white peach, and further intrigue by stone, coriander and linseed accents. There’s lots of sensual appeal here as well as flat-out refreshment. This unexpectedly surpasses its vintage 2017 predecessor by a significant margin."

„Organic-biodynamic. All the deeply savoury aromatics of the Roter Hang’s iron-rich rhyolite are here, but in a super-charged version. Bloodwort, sun-warmed stone, citrus zest and wet earth reappear on the ripe, concentrated palate. Taut but oily texture. A treasure.“

„Tingly nose with a hint of charred hazelnuts! Bone dry and with real grip and juiciness. Lovely balance on the palate. This really seems as though it would get the appetite going. Long. Impressive!”

„Reifes, weit gefächertes würzig-fruchtiges Bouquet mit zarter Holznote, auch ein Touch heller Tabak und Leder. Schmelzig-mineralischer Gaumen, fein austariert, etwas gerbstoffig, sehr trocken, weiche, eher geschmeidige Säure, dadurch etwas gesetzter wirkend, dennoch eigenständig, toller würziger Nachhall.”

"Neben reifer Aprikose auch Minze und Myrrhe in der Nase, Weihrauch. Saftig und cremig ansetzend, gerät aber nie in Gefahr zu klassisch zu geraten, dicht verwoben, straffer Säurezug, Salzigkeit; die Großzügigkeit der Lage wird dynamisiert, langes Finale. Potenzial."
