Reichsrat von Buhl, Riesling Forster Freundstück GG 2025

A nose consisting mainly of smoke and minerals at this stage. Blackberry, cherry, and cassis comprise the fruit profile of this wine—intensely salty and mineral on the dark, brooding palate. Hold for a decade or more.

Scored on a five-star scale, where a plus is a third of a star. How I score and what I disclose is set out in my ethics and disclosure policy. More notes are in the review index, and the regional background is in Wine in Germany.
