Müller-Catoir Riesling Mandelgarten Trocken 2020

95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Such a joyful, floral nose with notes of rose and honeysuckle, plus a hint of smoke. And that’s only the beginning for this dry riesling, which can hold its own with any number of GGs, thanks to the impressive concentration of citrus fruit and nectarine. The vibrant acidity and subtle mineral freshness underline each other at the very long and expressive finish. Drink or hold. (9/23/21)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Mandelgarten Riesling Trocken AP #15- Weingut Müller-Catoir also tips the scales at thirteen percent octane, while carrying a modest 3.6 grams of residual sugar and acids of 7.2 grams per liter. The wine delivers a lovely aromatic constellation of lemon, grapefruit, a hint of tart yellow plum, salty soil tones, delicate fruit blossoms and a topnote of citrus zest. On the palate the wine is vibrant, full-bodied and tightly-knit, with lovely focus and grip, an impressive girdle of acidity, fine balance and a long, youthful and promising finish. This too needs some bottle age before it will blossom and start to drink with generosity. 2028-2065+. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
