2020 - Winnninger Uhlen Roth Lay Riesling GG, Heymann-Lowenstein

The intensely colored 2020 Uhlen Roth Lay is precise and intense on the deep and concentrated, flinty-mineral but also aromatic nose that combines a ripe and rich but healthy fruit aroma with crushed slate tones. Still slightly reductive on the nose, the palate is singing. It is fine and fresh, very elegant and crystalline, provided with persistent grip and salinity and remarkable intensity and concentration. The finish is long and complex and very promising. Less challenging compared to the former vintages, maybe more generous and mouth-filling yet with less drama and tension. Time will tell us more about its talents. Tasted as a sample in Wiesbaden in August 2021.
