Tesch Karthäuser Riesling Trocken 2021

A dry riesling masterpiece with a near-perfect balance of restrained ripeness, very complex wild herb aromas and an extremely mineral acidity. Stunning concentration and brilliance on the extremely focused palate. The enormous energy at the whiplash finish suggests this has excellent aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2024 [and will hold until 2040]. Score – 97. (Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, Jan. 2, 2023)
