97 Points James Suckling - This is beautiful to drink now, but those things which really make it stand out in the crowd are only just beginning to reveal themselves. With every swirl of the glass the ripe peach and apricot aromas expand until there’s a great cloud of them. Staggering concentration is packed into a rather sleek frame, but the silkiness is no less astonishing. Limited production. Vegan. Drink or hold.

The 1896 Riesling 2021, as it is simply referred to on the front dark-grey label (the reference to the vintage and the vineyard is left for the back label), is a just off-dry wine (with 11 g/l of residual sugar) picked on un-grafted vines planted in 1896 in the Longuicher Maximiner Herrenberg, and was made using traditional winemaking methods dating back to the early 1900s. It offers a magnificently refined and captivatingly complex nose of minty herbs, white pepper, anise, smoke, cassis, violet, orange blossom, and licorice. The wine has a great lightness and airiness on the palate, where a light juicy side as well as some creamy elements give it a really joyful texture. The finish has however far more energy and even some raciness as it proves dynamic thanks to a lively kick of acidity. This is dynamic and buoyant, and a really breathtaking Riesling.
