(95+ points) Jordan has cultivated the cru that makes up the 2022 Forster Jesuitengarten Riesling GG since 1793, so more than 230 years. The vineyard is very complex in its soil structure but rather flat and warm. The nose of the 2022 indicates super ripe, warm and healthy fruit reminiscent of dried seed fruits intermingled with iodine and savory mineral notes, mirroring the complexity of the rather deep but diverse soil that is loamy and marly and characterized by iron-rich sandstone veins. Very elegant and vital on the palate, this full-bodied, rich but racy Riesling keeps it richness and power in balance since the wine is tightly structured by acidity, fine tannins and its mineral complexity. The finish is accordingly tight, fresh and complex and very, very long. However, the wine is far too young to be enjoyed at this early stage. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2024. - Stephan Reinhardt

Enticing nose of papaya, guava and hibiscus. Concentrated, elegant and silky, this is a very appealing yet well-structured expression of this famous site. Long, very satisfying and harmonious finish. Should age well. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Riesling Forster Jesuitengarten Grosses Gewächs was harvested on loam, sandstone debris, marly clay and basalt veins. Its nose is immediately rounded with gentle pear. The palate has both zestiness and saltiness. Nothing is heavy here; there is just a more insistent saltiness. The finish is yeasty and clear-cut but with a lemony echo. (Bone-dry) -- Anne Krebiehl MW
