Eva Fricke Riesling QbA trocken Lorcher Krone 2020 1.5L

98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Anyone who doubts the greatness of the best wines from the 2020 vintage in Germany should taste this extremely complex and pristine dry riesling. Enormous minerality and structure, in spite of only being medium-bodied. So finely nuanced. Very long finish, in which slatey and chalky elements are beautifully interwoven with the white-peach and Amalfi-lemon aromas. Enormous aging potential. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. (9/21/21)"

95 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Lorcher Krone Riesling Trocken opens with an intense and complex, very elegant and chalky-fresh bouquet of perfectly ripe Riesling grapes. Lush and silky as well as crystalline on the palate, this is a dense, very complex, finessed and grippy-mineral Krone with a firm, persistently salty and mineral finish. This is an impressive dry Riesling from predominantly 60- to 70+-year-old vines rooting deep in slate soils covering limestone sub-soils. Drink it from a Burgundy glass, in which the wine sits like an open book revealing all about Riesling, chalk and slate. A gorgeous wine with very fine tannins, lingering salinity and dense and juicy, lemony fruit. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from AP 7 21 in November 2021. Drink: 2022-2050. (12/9/21)"
