Riesling Wine

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 97 points: Bottled in June 2016, this texturally silken, supremely elegant effort transparently and kaleidoscopically combines moss, wet stone, gentian, buddleia, coriander, pepper, piquant yet rich nut oils and a saline clam broth...

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, 98 points: 98+ The 2015 Riesling Kinheimer Rosenberg Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) displays clear, intense and fresh aromas of ripe pineapples, lemon fruits and crushed stones, indicating gorgeous purity. Crystalline and highly...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The nose here fascinates in a distinctively Nikolaihof manner. Elusive suggestions of moss and lichen on wet stone, mothball and salt spray, along with herbal and floral essences introduce a palate performance that adds...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Herbal flavors and stewed fruit aromas dominate the super clear and stony bouquet of the 2014 Pündericher Marienburg Riesling Rothenpfad Reserve. Aged for two years on its lees and bottled in October 2016 just two weeks...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: From slate soils with calcareous parts, the 2014 Riesling Uhlen L 'VDP Grosse Lage' (picked in the lieut-dit Laubach) opens with a deep and cool, fascinating, yet still somewhat discreet and dusty/stony, herbal bouquet...

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, 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...

View From The Cellar, 97 points: The 2015 Morstein Auslese is another beautiful wine...The bouquet is still stunning, jumping from the glass in a blend of peach, yellow plum, honeycomb, a lovely base of limestone soil and a floral topnote. On the palate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2015 Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese (Golden Capsule) opens with a very clear and aromatic white stone fruit aroma intermixed with clear and smoky aromas. Sweet, lush and intense, this is a concentrated, already...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: 97+ The 2015 Riesling Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) is clear and complex on the concentrated but precise, fresh and mineral nose. On the palate, this is a clear, fresh, piquant and salty Auslese with...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: The Fröhlichs’ signature site has never, in my experience, faced such formidable competition from their other Grosse Gewächse (which are also more numerous than ever, thanks to the post-2012 inclusion of Stromberg) but it...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: 96+ The 2015 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) opens super piquant and concentrated on the nose, with intense and fresh lime and some smoky slate aromas. Concentrated and fine, with a piquant and...

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...

Vinous, 95 points: Picked at only marginally higher Oechsle than this year’s Goldtröpfchen Kabinett (and significantly less than the corresponding 2014), this reflects Haart’s increasing confidence that Prädikat character does not track...
