Clemens Busch Marienburg GG Rothenpfad Riesling Trocken 2018

The golden-yellow colored 2018 Marienburg GG Rothenpfad is pure, fresh and complex yet delicate on the elegant and subtle nose where perfectly ripe and healthy Riesling aromas intermix with herbal and stony notes. Silky, vital and nervously mineral on the palate, this is a rich and intense yet finessed and tensioned, not fully dry but juicy and warming Riesling with generosity, finesse and stimulating salinity on the crystalline and persistently aromatic finish. An impressive dry Riesling, it’s already digestible yet can be cellared for at least 12 years. 13% alcohol. Tasted from AP 3319 in July 2020. Drink date: 2020-2034. Score – 94.
