The 2014 Halenberg Riesling trocken GG is so clear and so discreet, but so herbal, yeasty and attractive that you fall in love with it straight from the very first impression. Monolithic on the palate, rich, intense and powerful, this is an enormously juicy and highly elegant, perfectly balanced Riesling from 45- to 50-year-old vines in a top terroir. This Halenberg is still untamed, but also precise and has a great substance and lingering salinity. - Stephan Reinhardt
