2015 Riesling Wine from Germany

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Many consider this the least of H-L’s three single parcel wines from the great Uhlen site, and (as usual) it’s quite funky and closed at this point. In spite of the considerable concentration this is quite a sleek, cool...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The dry 2015 Riesling Kinheimer Hubertuslay Auslese ** (White Capsule) is from very fine slate soils that give power to the wines (not in terms of alcohol, though). Cool and flinty on the nose, this is a very powerful...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Deidesheimer Mäusehöhle Riesling (AP 2216) opens with a pure and refreshing, rather coolish aroma (compared to the Leinshöhle) of ripe yellow fruits intertwined with stony aromas. Round, fresh and elegant on the...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Smells like dripping leaves and flowers after a tropical storm. Great dried fruit flavors and a brilliant acidity that lights them up. Stunning concentration and a very long, electric finish where the sweetness is barely...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is much more lush and tropical than the other H-L wines. Mouth-filling super-ripe star fruit, papaya, mango flavors, but remains dry with just enough acidity to prevent all this from being too much. Slightly austere...

Vinous, 90 points: This leans toward the earthy, mealy, smoky aspects of its site, but with lemony brightness laid alongside. The feel is full, firm and polished. Sweaty salinity serves for saliva-inducement on a finish of serious grip...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese *** (White Capsule) opens super fine and precise as well as rich and concentrated on the nose, with flinty fruit and some highly noble sur lie aromas. On the palate, this is a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Noble oaky flavors intertwined with a perfume of ripe stone fruits, lemons, herbs and crushed stones open to the very deep, complex and concentrated 2015 Königsbacher Idig Riesling Trocken GG. This full-bodied, powerful...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: In spite of the enormous concentration of dried yellow fruit flavors, this has a gracefulness and a great vitality that make it breathtaking. A spectacular Auslese to drink now, but it also has enormous aging potential...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Offers rapierlike focus and acidity to the concentrated and explosively fruity green apple, white cherry and jasmine flavors. Dried sage and chamomile notes linger on the powerful, well-structured finish, showing some...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: The ripe-pear nose is very enticing, and although this is a substantial and juicy dry riesling, the mineral touch on the finish lifts the full body, and the elegant acidity gives it some polish.

Vinous, 92 points: Sour mash and cider are wreathed in bittersweet floral perfume and mingled with corn shoots and chalk in this sappily concentrated elixir. The feel is polished and the perfumed and mineral elements strikingly persistent...
