James Suckling (99)

For a vintage that was so challenging, because it was so hot and so dry, this has an amazing, flinty vitality and super-dense apricot, apricot-skin and mirabelle-plum flavors on the very focused, medium-bodied palate. Then a huge wave of stone minerality hits you but, after it has passed, the finish is as still as a mountain lake. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Almost limitless aging potential.

Vinous (96)

The 2022 Riesling Schloss Johannisberg Goldlack is a dry wine to sit above the GG with extended aging on lees in the lowest, coolest part of the historic cellar. It has a shimmering golden hue and projects a supple, smooth coolness. A bigger glass and more air underline an ethereal lift of cooling chamomile and white flowers. The palate unfolds like cashmere, tender and weighty, yet not bearing down. Everything here is united. Rich yeast is merely creamy and lemony. All of this is slenderness, absolute calmness and vivid length. The 2022 is a different kind of Riesling that needs time and will reward it. (Bone-dry)

Falstaff (96)

Dense and still closed on the nose, smoke, white peach, crisp apricot, white grapefruit, kumquat, orange zest, chervil. Powerful and dense on the palate, finely nuanced with compact, concentrated extract, characterised by minerality, grippy, linear acidity and a fine tannin structure, tense, long.
