Riesling Wine

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...

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, 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...

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: 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, 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...

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, 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, 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...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Super smoky with enormous depth, but also incredibly precise and pristine with a salt, savory and mineral finish that doesn't want to stop. In spite of that unique personality and that there is a couple of decades of...

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...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Most people who drink wine know what a ripe peach tastes like. However, this wine gives you a completely new appreciation of the meaning of the word “peach”. Beyond that, it possesses subtlety that is extremely rare...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: What makes this stand out is the gigantic mineral freshness that's perfectly married to its richness. This gives the finish a whole extra dimension lacking in the majority of 2015 Auslese. The nose still needs some time...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Spicy, smoky earth tones and shards of slate juxtapose decadent sweet grapefruit and yellow cherry in this complex auslese. It's light as a feather yet unctuously ripe and rich with a reverberating fringe of bitter...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Pichler's 2013 Riesling Smaragd Weissenkirchner Achleithen combines its deep and spicy minerality with intense (almost dried) apple aromas on the nose. On the palate this rich, full-bodied and tightly woven Riesling is a...
