Morstein Riesling Großes Gewächs 2011 Weingut Wittmann

Avis professionnels

James Suckling (95)

Quite toasty on the nose, which is probably from bottle maturation. This Morstein is so bold, richly textural and dry that you could mistaken it for a grand cru white burgundy! Some dry German rieslings of this vintage has dominant tannins, but here this quality gives the wine an extra dimension of power. At 13.5% alcohol, this is the heaviest Wittmann Morstein of recent times.

Jancis Robinson (18)

Already deep straw colour. Mouthfilling. Very grandiose. Very serious dry Riesling in the Clos Ste Hune mould. Chewy finish for the moment. Drier than most. Surely a bit stronger than most too? (JR)

Falstaff (95)

A strong, clear yellow. Concentrated fruit on the nose, subtle spice. On the palate, it's incredibly full-bodied and minerally, served very warm, with a good grip, still a bit bitter and yeasty, unfinished, but undoubtedly a great wine.
