Heymann-Lowenstein 'Uhlen L' Uhlen Laubach Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2014

95 Points Wine Advocate

From slate soils with calcareous parts, the 2014 Riesling Uhlen L 'VDP Grosse Lage' (picked in the lieut-dit Laubach) opens with a deep and cool, fascinating, yet still somewhat discreet and dusty/stony, herbal bouquet. This wine is rich and intense on the palate, with concentrated and juicy fruit, as well as an impressive structure and silkiness. It has perfectly integrated acidity and is a highly complex and expressive Riesling, with an enormously long and complex finish. Still some yeasty flavors in the aftertaste. This is another milestone in the Mosel in general and of this avant-garde estate. Highly recommended, also for Burgundy lovers. - Stephan Reinhardt
