(92+ points) The intensely yellow-colored 2022 Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Riesling 1G is intense and pure on the nose that combines ripe and concentrated fruit aromas with flinty/mineral and leafy notes of crushed rocks and phenols. Rich but elegant and refined on the palate, this is a full-bodied yet pure, saline and tensioned Reiterpfad whose warmth and power is perfectly uplifted by dancing minerals and ripe yet saline and persistent acidity. It's very stimulating thanks to the lemony freshness and piquancy. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2024. - Stephan Reinhardt
