This is much more lush and tropical than the other H-L wines. Mouth-filling super-ripe star fruit, papaya, mango flavors, but remains dry with just enough acidity to prevent all this from being too much. Slightly austere finish.

93+ The 2015 Riesling Röttgen 'VDP Grosse Lage' has the clear, deep, ripe, elegant and complex nose of a great wine. Crushed stone flavors along with almond cookie flavors and a thousand more flavors lead to a dense, powerful and well structured palate of great complexity and persistency. This Winninger Röttgen combines richness, power and structure with finesse, transparency and elegance. The finish is stimulatingly salty and aromatic. This is a great dry and pretty powerful Riesling that will shine in 5-10 or more years. - Stephan Reinhardt
