Tasting profile
A complex, full-bodied dry Riesling showing peach, pear, green apple, pineapple, lemon peel and honeyed stone fruit, with hints of petrol and slate minerality. Balanced acidity and a creamy, slightly spiced finish give it remarkable depth and serious aging potential.
Synthesized from 73Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Rather full bodied and surprisingly dark colored. My guess is that there has been a considerable amount of bortrytised grapes leading to high glycerine levels and a creamy acidity. Exceptional aromatic complexity with subtle petrol and slate aromas of fruity riesling. Certainly a huge potential but already in a good place.”

Summary
Carl Loewen Maximin Herrenberg Riesling GG is a white from Mosel, Germany.
The calibrated figure is built from 73 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 74 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 154 other whites from Germany, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 73.
