Wine from Germany

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2015 Pündericher Marienburg Riesling Falkenlay opens clear, pure, fresh and mineral, with concentrated mirabelle aromas on the nose. Fermented for 18 months and aged for another three months on the lees, this was...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: 96+ Coming from partly ungrafted vines down to 50 years, the 2015 Stromberg Riesling GG comes from the steepest and stoniest porphyry vineyards of the domaine. It opens deep, clear and flinty on the nose, with a very pure...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Bottled in late 2016 with 5.5% alcohol plus 360 grams of unfermented sugar, the dark orange/amber colored 2011 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is clear and aromatic on the spicy nose where ripe...

Vinous, 97 points: Golden yellow. Noble aromas of orange blossom, vanilla and lemon candy are wrapped in subdued brown-spice botrytis. Vanilla cream and mango are supported by uplifting acids, giving this wine a lush structure and elegant...

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, 92 points: Surprisingly the nose of the 2001 Riesling Auslese Erdener Pralat had characteristics generally found in Sauvignon Blancs namely freshly-mowed wet lawn and gooseberries. This expansive offering offers rich layers of...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A mad, smoky and radically herbal nose makes this something you will either sign up for or reject out of hand. That doesn't matter though, because after another year or two of ageing it will become much clearer that this...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Still slightly closed this is a very complex mineral wine with a wealth of wild herb and berry nuances. Massive depth and freshness, too. The finish is long and seriously powerful. Drink now and for many years to come. ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2013 Felseneck Spätlese Gold Capsule starts with a fascinating ripe and aromatic bouquet of lime and lemon perfume spiced with crushed slate and some herbal aromas. This rich and enormously juicy and piquant Spätlese...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Richter's amber/orange colored 2011 Graacher Dompropst Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese, picked at 260° Oechsle and bottled with 5.5% alcohol plus 340 grams of unfermented sugar and 12.5 grams of total acidity, needs some...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2015 Riesling Saarburger Rausch Beerenauslese is very concentrated and intense on the nose, with dried dark stone fruit aromas along with spicy and some oaky flavors. Round, super lush and seamless in its highly...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 96 points: I do keep mentioning the early herbaceous exuberance of spontaneous fermentation in Fröhlich’s Grosse Gewächse, as it would be unfair not give the whole picture, but with regard to the Felsenberg, minerality is the true...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Elegant, with an enticing angel food cake texture to the ripe apple, peach and baked pear flavors. Very spicy, showing hints of cream and plenty of honey on the rich, alluring finish. Drink now through 2035. 20 cases...
