93 2018 Kallstadt Saumagen Riesling trocken<br />

Beginning to unfold on the nose: balsamic and limestone<br />

spice notes, floral, a mineral reduction hovers. Drive on the<br />

palate, broad body, profound extract, layers of suppleness<br />

and viscosity, ripe acidity. Great potential.<br />

12,5 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€€<br />

Last year we were rather taken by the<br />

wines the Fusser brothers presented and<br />

this year we can simply state: at this level<br />

they are rather close to receiving their fourth<br />

star. The breath-taking growth over the past<br />

years was evidently accomplished without any<br />

sacrifice of quality. Totally in line with the vintage,<br />

the 2018 single-site Rieslings show good<br />

substance and are somewhat broader, than<br />

those of the 2019 vintage, which are utterly precise.<br />

The two Spätburgunders from the Deidesheimer<br />

Mäushöhle and Herrgottsacker sites<br />

prove that the brothers also know how to handle<br />

Pinot Noir. Wines with real style!<br />

90 2019 Riesling trocken<br />

91 2018 Ruppertsberg Reiterpfad<br />

Riesling trocken<br />

A hint of wood spice, curry and citrus, overall fruit and spice<br />

still seem closed. Supple on the palate, vivid mineral motifs,<br />

ripe acidity, powerful alcohol, a little broad in structure, but<br />

mineral and with good extract. 12,5 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€€<br />

93 2017 Deidesheim Mäushöhle<br />

Spätburgunder trocken<br />

Initially very reductive on the nose, only slowly opens into<br />

notes of sour cherry and cranberry. Very dense on the palate,<br />

juicy and with a fine nerve. Mineral tinged, with supple extract,<br />

tight and full of potential. A Pinot with style.<br />

12,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />

92 2017 Deidesheim Herrgottsacker<br />

Spätburgunder trocken<br />

Milk chocolate and dark berries, elderberry, blackberry. On<br />

the palate dense, fine grained, fresh tannins fill the frame<br />

well, lively sophisticated acidity. A full bodied Pinot with<br />

good fruit made for bottle ageing. 12,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />

91 2019 Ruppertsberg Riesling trocken<br />

Initially peach on the nose, then nectarine and pineapple,<br />

well-captured ripe but not overripe fruit. Smooth on the<br />

palate and at the same time also juicy and fine-boned.<br />

Slightly salty undertones, very good substance for Ortswein.<br />

Impeccable balance, very good length.<br />

13 Vol.-%, screwcap, €€<br />
