RIESLING TROCKEN
95 Domdechant Werner 2017 Hochheimer Domdechaney Riesling Trocken GG Gold Cap (Rheingau). While this ripe, intensely peachy wine is plump and plush in mouthfeel, there’s a steely mineral backbone here that lends an upright, stately demeanor. White peach and pink grapefruit flavors are lusciously ripe but pristine, offset by brisk lemon-lime acidity and lingering tones of crushed slate, earth and spice. A complex, deeply satisfying wine to enjoy now–2030. Miller Squared Inc. Editors’ Choice. —A.I.

While initially demure on the nose, aeration teases out pretty aromas of rose petal and pink grapefruit here. Dry and quite opulent in style, it offers pristine yet ripe yellow peach and apricot flavors. —A.I.
