"The nose is dominated by fresh citrus notes of lime and lemon zest, underneath it, a riper fruit is hinted at. The palate reveals it as tart, fresh and juicy red apple. There is wonderful, tingling concentration on the palate, given extra pizzazz by the bright, zesty acidity. Notes of stone and chalk peek through. The palate is dry and slender but concentrated and toned. The finish plays with delicious grapefruit notes. - Roger Voss"

Go To Wolfberger Rangen Grand Cru Riesling
"There's refreshing, cool earthiness to this tight young riesling, a deep mineral tone and root-cellar savor that balances its floral, lemon-curd flavors. As potent and earthy as the flavors may be they finish clean, with enough cut to stand next to braised rabbit or other white-meat game."
"The scent of fresh fragrant orange peel has a totally honeyed edge on the nose. The palate, however, has a wonderfully clear and clean-cut green pear and lemon note that simply sings. There is concentration and poise but also a feeling that this might be far better with a few years of cellar age. The beautifully dry palate is concentrated and has impact but is not heavy; the finish is lip-smacking and vivid. It's lovely now but better later. Drink 2017–2030. - Roger Voss"
"Very ripe and juicy notes of yellow pear have a touch of lemon and an alluring pithy earthiness on the nose. The palate comes in with the same generous juiciness and an easy flow that is nonetheless full of vivid fruit of juicy pear and ripe orange. Underneath all of that is a firm fault line of freshness and a pithy zesty concentration. All the fruity ease plays over considerable power. The finish is lemon-dominated and dry. Drink now through 2030. - ANNE KREBIEHL MW"
