Schäfer-Fröhlich Riesling Schlossböckelheimer Kupfergrube GG 2019

97 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Decanter): "The nose is shy and under a cloud of yeasty funk for now. The palate has immense concentration and is anchored in deep, uncompromising stoniness. The texture reverberates with citrus but is rich with ripest stone fruit. There is something elixir-like about this concentrated stone juice that will disarm lovers of fine, pure Riesling. Knowing this steep, stony site that was blasted into volcanic rock it could not be otherwise. That such fruit should spring from such hard stone is Riesling's secret and vindication. Drinking Window: 2025-2050. (Aug 2020)"

94 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Minty nose with plenty of grapefruit zest and fresh herbs, this is seriously mineral, but also quite a sleek and austere wine. Either you’ll love the firm structure and long, almost bitter mineral finish, or you’ll reach for something else. Drink or hold. (9/16/20)"

93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 17 20. The 2019er Kupfergrube Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, offers a quite backward yet superbly complex nose of licorice, minty herbs, smoke, nutmeg, sea breeze, anise, and vineyard peach. The wine proves superbly playful and finely creamy on the palate, and leaves a tickly feel of zesty fruits in the lingering and precise finish. This gorgeous dry Riesling does not live from density and high levels of dry extracts but makes this up through wonderful finesse and precision. 2026-2039. (Oct 2020)"
