2016 Wine from Germany

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Very lemony and flinty, this is quite a sleek and seriously mineral dry wine with a long, deep finish. Better from 2018. Screw cap closure. - Stuart Pigott

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Mind-boggling purity and brilliance make the enormously concentrated mango, papaya and dried-apricot aromas light up like fireworks in the sky. What a breathtaking finish. Sure you can drink it now, but long experience...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: The first impression that this very young, delicate and cool wine gives you on the nose is deceptive. This has impressive concentration, racy acidity and a crystaline purity on the palate and the intensely mineral...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Grand Cru quality! So concentrated, yet so elegant and subtle. Stunning harmony of fine mirabelle fruit and mineral acidity that runs through the wine from the tip of your tongue to the end of the finish, for which you...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A super-elegant Auslese with stunning mango aromas. If you're not afraid of acidity then this wine will light your fire. Stunning brilliance at the very long straight finish. Drink or hold a long as you like. Very limited...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Ripe, concentrated and elegant, this has impressive chalky minerality on the long finish. Drink or hold (a decade should be no problem). Screw cap closure.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: From 90-year-old vines on gray slate, the 2016 Pündericher Marienburg Riesling "Felsterrasse" shows a pure, fresh and mineral nose with perfectly ripe and concentrated but not overly fruity mirabelle aromas. Full-bodied...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2016 Piesporter Treppchen Riesling "von den Terrassen" was picked at 96° Oechsle ("strangely, like every year," says Stefan Steinmetz) and fermented in stainless steel down to 11.5% alcohol and 20 grams of residual...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2016 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett displays a bright fruit and floral aroma with saffron notes on a pretty reductive but attractive bouquet. Lush and piquant on the palate, this is a very intense and juicy...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: The biggest and richest of the 2016 dry riesling from Keller. Great textural complexity, but this wine is also anything but heavy thanks to the super-vibrant finish that stretches out in the direction of infinity. Drink now.
