91 David Schildknecht - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Diel's 2006 Dorsheimer Burgberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs possesses a chalky, pithy, formidably, implacably, and palpably mineral concentration. A bit of excavation reveals lime, herbs, smoked meat, white peach, and peach kernel, all of which combine with the stonier stuff on such prominent display to produce an explosively intense, crystalline, faintly bitter finish. Anyone who latches on to some of this ought not to miss tasting it over the coming 12-18 months despite its relative austerity, but it will be at its best from age 8-15."
