94 points Wine Advocate"From deeper slate soils that deliver very aromatic fruit and crunchy slate aromas, the 2016 Riesling Graacher Domprobst Spätlese (White Capsule) is excitingly pure and smoky on the terribly fine and dark nose. This is...

93 points Vinous"Here is a gorgeous example of delicacy allied to flavor intensity and luscious fruit allied to savory mineral notes. Scents of fresh strawberry and lime anticipate the brightly juicy impression on a polished, buoyant palate...

94 points John Gilman, View from the Cellar"The bouquet jumps from the glass in a youthful blend of lime peel, tart orange, a nice touch of wild yeasts, botanicals, a beautifully complex base of slate, a hint of menthol and a lovely topnote of citrus...

95 points James Suckling"Still very youthful, this is super-elegant with intense slate character. Mini-banana and spring-flower aromas. Very focused on the sleek and silky palate, which you want to linger long over because it lingers long with you at the...

95 points Mosel Fine Wines"The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Trocken Uralte Reben GG is a bone-dry wine (with 3 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit picked on un- grafted vines planted in 1890. It proves rather backward at first and really needs a...
