Super clear and flinty on the stony and herbal-scented but still reductive and even untamed nose, the 2017 (Bockenau) Felseneck Riesling GG is a rich and powerful, pretty intense and persistent Riesling with a long and powerful, very salty and elegant, highly promising finish. This is a very deep and tensioned Riesling with lots of power but also finesse and elegance. Promising. Tasted in July 2019.

The Felseneck and I have changed, so subtly that hardly anybody has noticed. The Felseneck does not appear quite so extreme anymore in its expression of funky sulphur aromas. In exchange my sensory perception has become more tolerant for the wilder side of herbaceous vigour. A rocky minerality carves its way into the palate, fruit covered by stone dust, a cool herbal breeze takes charge of the finish. The big polariser! (MS)
