In this context (20+ years of G-Max) and tasted blind as wine number 20, the still embryonic 2019 Riesling G-Max shows clear, bright, fine and elegant Riesling fruit in a classic style with saline notes in the background. Dense, saline and spicy yet also juicy on the palate but without any hint of mass or power, the 2019 already sings, plays and laughs, yet it also reveals plenty of tension. It is a true classic with unusual finesse for the G-Max and possibly the beginning of a new style with more purity, finesse and precision? Tasted at Steinheuer's Restaurant Zur Alten Post, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, in January 2024.
