Riesling

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...

95 points James Suckling"You can almost taste all the sunshine of this very warm vineyard site. The aromas tip over from stone fruit to fresh pineapple and white flowers. But what makes this so exciting is the vibrancy and mineral energy that so...

98 points James Suckling"The first thing that strikes you is the huge stone fruit ripeness in the nose, but then comes the striking exotic fruit and herb freshness, and when you take the first sip the wet stone intensity and vibrancy are truly staggering...

95 points Wine & Spirits"Most vineyards have a structure of topsoil, subsoil and bedrock. Due to its age and steepness, the Wehlener Sonnenuhr does not have any topsoil. The vines grow in the shimmer of shiny, weathered, blue Devonian slate. The soil...

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...

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...

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...

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...
