2014 Riesling Wine

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, 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...

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, 93 points: The 2014 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett (AP #11) shows a super clear, deep and complex blue slate bouquet; this leads to a piquant and filigreed palate, with an ethereal lightness and transparency. It has a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ The 2014 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese ** (White Capsule) opens with a clear and initially pretty 'Burgundian' bouquet, with yeasty and spicy as well as some sweet oak and lemon chutney flavors. When I...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: 93+ Super clear in color and bouquet opens the 2014 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Trocken Alte Reben, which displays an herbal flavored nose with celery aromas at this early stage. Firmly structured and piquant...

Vinous, 94 points: On the nose come intimations of crushed stone that, along with smoky, ore-like undertones and a sweet-saline, iodine-laced savor akin to shrimp-shell reduction and oyster liquor, lend intrigue to the luscious fruitiness...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: Ripe white peach, zesty fresh lemon, toasted squash seeds, wet stone and high-toned almond extract mingle on a stunningly forceful and multidimensional nose. The rich, expansive midpalate impression is by turns creamy and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Bottled in April 2016, the 2014 Riesling Uhlen R 'VDP Grosse Lage' opens with a very clear, deep and ripe, stony-flavored Riesling bouquet. On the palate, this is a very finessed and elegant but also rich and intense...

View From The Cellar, 90 points: The Estate Riesling from Weingut Schaefer in 2014 finished off nicely at between thirty- five and forty percent residual sugar, to balance out nine grams per liter of acidity and is really a beautiful bottle of wine. The...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: A head-turning nose of cherry and apple with their flowers incorporates intimations of mint and cress. This combination serves for a succulently fruity and coolingly herbal impression on the silky mid-palate that...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ The 2014 Kiedricher Grafenberg Riesling trocken GG combines the fine and highly elegant Riesling fruit of the Klosterberg with the finesse-full and precise purity of the Gräfenberg phyllite terroir. Piquant and...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: Violet perfume, mint, wintergreen, smoky-sweet pungency of machine oil and mouthwatering intimations of toasted shrimp shell all put me as much in mind of Nebbiolo or Cabernet Franc as of Riesling in a heady aromatic...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Christmann's iconic 2014 Konigsbacher Idig Riesling trocken GG is pure, intense, fresh, and displays chalk and lemon flavors on the concentrated, complex nose. Full-bodied and round on the palate, very elegant, intense...
