The generous and herbal nose of the 2018 Riesling Grand Cru Geisberg is very clear, intense, concentrated and saline. On the palate, this is a rich and powerful, fleshy and almost viscous Geisberg, with fine tannins and rather smooth acidity and 14.5% stated alcohol. It's naturally long and powerful and accessible earlier than the 2019. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024 and again on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Clos Ste Hune at the beginning of November, with the same result, but this note: The 2018 Geisberg Riesling is deep, very intense and aromatic on the nose that represents the very dry and warm vintage. Full-bodied, rich and very powerful on the palate, this is a massive and muscular, luckily also saline-finishing Riesling that is still a bit edgy and will still need years to refine and gain in finesse. It is doubtlessly a complex and potential wine.(SR)

This is powerful and full bodied, but the crackling acidity tightens its waist. The flavors of fresh quince, crunchy apricot, honeysuckle, lanolin and ginger are subtle today, but should become more expressive with time. The finish features a tactile mineral element and it's salty even. This is a great food wine, especially for pork or sausage. (AZ)

Intensely herbal in a good way, with green herb oil cruising alongside apple, chrysanthemum and quince flavors on a silky palate. Bracing and fresh despite its age, with elegance and impressively long, delectable, mineral-driven finish. Cilantro seed. bay leaf and acacia hints add detail. Time has mellowed this Riesling, yet vibrant energy shines through. Drink now through 2030.
