2023 Robert Weil Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken

93 POINTS

Ulrich Sautter - Falstaff

Spicy aroma, tangerine peel, mint, lemon balm, a hint of aniseed, with crushed rock behind it, clear and delicate. On the palate it shows with a gripping acidity, polished minerality, zesty citrus fruit, lime, mint, still young, very nice drinking flow, lots of certain ageing potential.

Stephan Reinhardt - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

From vines averaging 35+ years of age in a cru that Weil has cultivated for 20 years, the 2023 Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken is very clear, intense in a fine way and substantial on the still-muted nose that indicates ripe and fleshy fruit with a flinty nuance. Entirely vinified in large oak until the end of July, this is a very elegant and balanced Riesling on the palate. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and finely savory, this is a structured and saline-finishing Riesling with intensity and concentration, but it's still somewhat muted, as if it's under a dusty layer. This very young wine should benefit from bottle age or a carafe. 12.6% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.
