With the exception of Johannishof, a very disappointing set of wines.
JOHANNISHOF
2020 (Rüdesheim) Berg Rottland Riesling GG
Good depth and intensity, especially for the vintage; some minerality, some creaminess of texture. Not a wine of strong personality, but one that touches all the bases. 92/A
KÜNSTLER
2021 (Rüdesheim) Berg Rottland Riesling GG
Medium-light in weight, not much expression of fruit. Not a fully convincing wine at this moment. 88?/B-
LEITZ
2020 (Rüdesheim) Berg Rottland Riesling GG
Floral, mineral nose. Light on palate with some breadth. Some minerality, but not very deep or expressive. 89/B
2020 (Rüdesheim) Berg Kaiserfels Riesling GG
Creamy, moderate acidity, lightly mineral fruit. 87/C
2020 (Rüdesheim) Rosengarten Riesling GG
Light in body and rather washed out in the mouth. 87/C
Balthasar RESS
2020 (Rüdesheim) Berg Rottland Riesling GG
Impure nose; medium-light, some creaminess of texture, some spice, but not very characteristic of Berg Rottland. 86/D
