Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: From 50 plus year old vines on yellow Buntsandstein soils with a sandy loam layer, the 2014 Haardter Bürgergarten Riesling Trocken intertwines its deep and precise fruit aromas with earthy flavors on the nose to migrate...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 90 points: This village bottling largely from gravel and cobblestone sites is another firm, clear, straight, adamantly dry Franzen Riesling, like its generic “underling.” Peach, apricot and lemon are laced with ginger, nutmeg, sage...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Highly Recommended. Rich, elegant flavors of Fuji apple, kiwifruit and green peach glisten with intense flinty notes. Hints of fig and anise emerge as well, presenting luscious minerality on the seductively spiced...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The golden-yellow 2014 Riesling Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese *** (White Capsule) displays a deep, clear, concentrated, aromatic and stony/smoky bouquet of crushed stones, lemons, ripe peaches and dried apricots...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Coolish, very clear, subtle but multi-layered on the highly elegant, finesse-full and flinty nose starts the 2014 Riesling Dellchen GG. This is a full-bodied, pure, very elegant, highly complex and frisky Riesling of...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: Coming from argillaceous shale soils, the 2015 Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett opens with a very clear and coolish, slightly flinty bouquet with white Riesling and some refreshing lemon flavors. Full-flavored and...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Firm and focused, this is filled with powerful flavors of dark currant, white raspberry, melon and red peach, all loaded with minerality. Finely textured overall, with an explosively fresh finish of tarragon and slate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2014 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett (AP #11) shows a super clear, deep and complex blue slate bouquet; this leads to a piquant and filigreed palate, with an ethereal lightness and transparency. It has a...
