95 points James Suckling"So much candied citrus, angelica, dried sage and thyme in the nose! However, this compact and highly structured Alsace Grand Cru dry riesling is still very youthful and really needs a lot of aeration (decanting and big glasses!)...

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...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"Bright, elegant and nuanced with crunchy acidity that's nicely buried under lively Meyer lemon, Mirabelle plum and verbena notes, this wine features sprinkles of honeysuckle and acacia, with a long, piercing finish. It is not a...

97 points Vinous"Luminous straw-yellow. Complex, mint-accented aromas of nectarine, tangerine and powdered stone, plus a hint of licorice. Then bright, juicy and dense, showing outstanding acid-sugar balance and a penetrating juiciness to the stone fruit...

92 points Wine Spectator"Black currant and black cherry flavors are enmeshed in the dense matrix of this red. Broad-shouldered and solid on the finish, this needs food or time to knit together. Very fresh and long. Best from 2018 through 2030. 50 cases...

96 points Wine Advocate"The white-golden colored 2019 Riesling Grand Cru Mambourg opens with a deep, very intense and chalky, complex and elegant bouquet with concentrated lemon and lemon chutney aromas. On the palate, this is a rich but refined, fresh...

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...

97 points Wine Enthusiast"Opulent and finessed, this has great weight, and scents of ripe fruit and botrytis. Stylish flavors of yellow fruit, citrus and cinnamon combine with bright acidity on the rich palate."96 points Wine Spectator"A big, broad,...

95 points Wine Enthusiast"A reductive, yeasty funk still hangs over citrus notes on the nose of this wine. On the palate, the concentration, power and ripeness of the wine are made clear. Zesty and driven, it brims with ripe lemon peel and pleasantly...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"A shy nose on this wine reveals little fruit, but more air allows lemon-edged Mirabelle to show through. The palate delivers lemony brightness, supported by the slightest carbon-dioxide spritz. Juicy, ripe Mirabelle plum awaits...

98 points James Suckling"A giant dry riesling that is so cool, focused and precise, it comes across as only medium-bodied in spite of the enormous concentration of citrus fruit, spice and wet stone minerality. Very pristine finish with a wonderful...
