92 points Falstaff"Smoky aroma, strong mineral note, wet hot slate, candied citrus, mint, flint. On the palate a tense interplay between fruit and acidity, lots of traction, citrus, delicate phenolics, elegant and firm, good length, beautiful and with...

93 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett opens clear, bright and complex on the subtle and refined, beautifully flinty and delicately fruity nose. Salty-piquant and highly stimulating straightaway yet still far too young to...

100 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Vogelsang Grosse Lage is pure, deep and intense on the spectacularly fine, mineral and absolutely unique nose that reveals concentrated but elegant and spicy-mineral fruit with a coolish and herbal terroir expression. A...
