Riesling Wine

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This is like a top GG, but for a friendly price. Very deep and complex wine with power that is totally underplayed. The balance is near perfect and the finish is super-long. From organically grown grapes. Long aging...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: A lot of roasted citrus fruits, but the mineral character is stronger. The mineral component keeps the reins in its hand, driving the wine on to a very straight path and keeping it there in spite of higher alcohol (just...

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, 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...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Very ripe yellow-fruit character and considerable succulence without any hints of heaviness. A very long and stony finish of serious complexity that shows wonderful freshness. A great food wine, especially with spicy East...

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: 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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2017 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is intense and concentrated on the nose, with raisin, grapefruit and even vegetable aromas at the moment. This is highly attractive and noble on both the nose and palate. The wine is...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2017 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese is coolish, bright and fresh on the still-reductive but attractive nose with its fine Riesling and slate aromas. The wine is salty-piquant and terribly fresh on the palate, with very...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2015 Riesling Wehlener Klosterberg Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) is very clear and precise on the nose where concentrated lemon and grapefruit aromas intermix with piquant slate flavors. On the palate, this is a round...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Still rather closed with only hints of candied citrus and toast on the nose, but this has the concentration and profundity of a top grand cru. Tightly wound and so, it needs some time to unfurl. But it already has a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Aged sulfur-free on the lees for two years and bottled in December 2017, the 2015 Pündericher Marienburg Riesling "Rothenpfad" Reserve offers a terribly pure, complex and flinty bouquet of crushed stones and perfectly...

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: The 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese ** (Green Capsule) is clear, bright, fresh and flinty on the precise, cool and aromatic nose. The attack on the palate is fresh and piquant before the pure and crystalline...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2017 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese (Gold Capsule), AP 15 18, is a highly attractive and refined Riesling with beautifully clear and aromatic fruit (yellow plums and nectarines at the moment) intermingled with fine...
