94+ The 2015 Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling GG offers a dense, clear, deep and smoky bouquet of perfectly ripe fruits. This Riesling is round and silky textured, with lots of salts and minerals; it has a mouth-watering grip and texture, too. This is a full-bodied, complex and crystalline Helden with a long and complex, lemon-fresh finish. This wine comes from deeper slate soils and from the oldest vines of the domaine, which are up to 80 years old. - Stephan Reinhardt

Lush and well-spiced, with loads of green peach, baked apple, white cherry and pear flavors that feature touches of bacon fat. Sage cream notes emerge in the midpalate, and the finish lingers with rich savory and mineral accents. Best from 2018 through 2022. — K.M.
