Robert Parker
"The 2017 Kinheimer Hubertuslay Beerenauslese Riesling is highly concentrated and fresh, needing time to open up and unfold its flavors. Salty-spicy and terrifically fresh on the palate, it's another exciting discovery from Hubertuslay, a much-loved old cru that Molitor has brought back on the trail of the Moselle's finest terroirs. His 2017 BA is, of course, sweet and concentrated but also incredibly precise and fresh, crystalline and saline, and reveals great energy and finesse. It's a gorgeous wine and almost too good to be true." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Stephan Reinhardt)

About the wine:
The 2017 Kinheimer Hubertuslay Beerenauslese Riesling is highly concentrated and fresh, needing time to open up and unfold its flavors. Salty-spicy and terrifically fresh on the palate, it's another exciting discovery from Hubertuslay, a much-loved old cru that Molitor has brought back on the trail of the Moselle's finest terroirs. His 2017 BA is, of course, soft and concentrated but also incredibly precise and fresh, crystalline and saline, and reveals great energy and finesse. It's a magnificent wine that's almost too good to be true. Tasted at the estate in April 2019.
