Aged sulfur-free on the lees for two years and bottled in December 2017, the 2015 Pündericher Marienburg Riesling "Rothenpfad" Reserve offers a terribly pure, complex and flinty bouquet of crushed stones and perfectly ripe, healthy Riesling notes, indicating great purity. Remarkably fine and salty on the palate, this is a highly elegant, complex and persistent Riesling with firm yet fine tannins and great concentration that doesn't give any sweet sensations. It's simply pure and fresh—actually challenging—kind of like a liquid Holy Grail Riesling for purists. The finish is concentrated and very, very long and stimulating.
