Wine from Germany

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: As bright as a supernova, this is an extraordinary wine that makes me dream of goose liver and roquefort cheese. Like peach-essence with a ton of lemon zest, this is staggeringly concentrated, but so pure and clean...

Vinous, 96 points: Sage, marjoram and white pepper practically assault the nose in a fashion that signals “Pechstein” before it suggests “nobly sweet,” although hints of candied lime and glazed pineapple do anticipate the ennobled, sweet...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2015 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Auslese is lovely, clear and flinty on the nose and, like the Spätlese, is characterized by its noble aristocracy, but also lemony freshness and great purity. There seems to be...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Intense yellow-golden in color, the 2014 Haardter Herzog Rieslaner Auslese shows a very clear and concentrated, super ripe but also refreshing, yellow-fleshed fruit aroma on the nose. Sweet, lush and light on the elegant...

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...

Vinous, 94 points: Bright and crisp on the nose, with candied peach, lemon oil and acacia honey aromas complemented by a whiff of brown spice botrytis. The lusciously sweet tropical flavors maintain a remarkable delicacy in spite of the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2015 Rheingau Riesling Beerenauslese Oestrich Lenchen VDP Grosse Lage has a clear, fresh and concentrated bouquet of lemon chutney with lemon zests and crushed stone flavors. Sweet, lush and piquant, this is a highly...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2013 Kinheimer Hubertuslay Auslese *** needs a little but of time to open up and show its finest, intense raisin aromas indicating grapefruit/lemon and pineapples on a piquant background. Rich, oily textured and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Volatile on the nose with honey and raisin aromas, the 7% alcohol 2013 Brauneberger Juffer Beerenauslese is a concentrated, sweet and elegant Riesling with great finesse and precision. Almost 193 grams of residual sugar...

Vinous, 94 points: This reflects a picking of grapes to a significant degree desiccated without botrytis, which shows in its striking clarity and primary juiciness, not to mention in measurable acidity high by vintage standards. Quince...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ Picked at 155° Oechsle and made from pure raisins, the 2015 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese is super clear, fine, fresh and piquant on the nose, as well as super concentrated and clear, with ripe apricot...
