Robert Parker Wine Advocate Stephan Reinhardt - 30 Aug 19
From grafted 50- to 60-years-old vines in the steep Förster Ternes lieu-dit, the 2018 Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spätlese (AP 14) is cool, ripe and intense on the crystalline, flinty, concentrated and aromatic nose. This is a mountain stream of Saar Riesling coming from one of the greatest terroirs in the Saar. Lush and firm, with challenging mineral acidity and tight structure, this is an expressive terroir wine that is sharp and precise as a knife and complex as a construction plan. Tasted in June 2019.
