The 2020 Binger Scharlachberg Riesling GG opens as pure as intensely aromatic on the elegant, refined, fresh and flinty nose. Lush, round, intense and elegant on the palate, this is a lighter, well-balanced, refined and textured Scharlachberg with fine, crystalline and salty acidity but still slightly less tensioned compared to the 2020 Heerkretz. This pure, bright and refined Scharlachberg is charmingly textural and finishes precise, elegant and finely salty. However, after some days in the open bottle, the wine gained further complexity, mineral grip and tension. It finishes with stimulating salinity as well as finely concentrated and juicy yellow fruit aromas. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2022.
