Domaine Albert Boxler Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg 2020

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Stephan Reinhardt, mars 2023) : 95/100. Boxler's 2020 Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg offers a clear, deep, pure and complex bouquet with perfectly ripe fruit aromas intertwined with the beautifully flinty and floral or herbal terroir notes of the super steep Sommerberg. The fruit is virtually perfectly ripe and irresistibly aromatic. On the palate, this is a perfectly round and balanced Riesling with dense fruit intertwined with mineral texture, density and grip. The finish reveals very fine tannins and impressive intensity, but nothing here is too loud, too willing or too rich. This is a beauty with highly finessed acidity and serene character, despite its serious complexity. This Sommerberg gives great pleasure immediately. 14% stated alcohol (which isn't noticeable). Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2022. Drink date 2022-2050.
