94+ Katarina Prüm’s 2020 Badstube Spätlese is simply stunning and one of the best wines I have ever tasted from this vineyard. The bouquet is electric, jumping from the glass in a mix of apple, fresh lime, lilacs, bee...

A basket of exotic fruit with the juicy sweetness that belongs to them, the lively acidity complementing this very well. Impressive depth, the herbal and anise notes building at the long finish. Drink or hold.

Very youthful, cool and pristine, this is an extremely elegant sleek and focused Kabinett. Although analytically there must be quite a bit of unfermented grape sweetness here, you barely feel it, so uplifting is the...

(WA 94-95 points) The 2018 Scharzhofberger Spätlese offers a very fine and delicate, coolish, precise and flinty bouquet with bright and elegant fruit notes. On the palate, this is a finessed, beautifully round and lush...

The 2020er Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese AP 06 was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It proves still quite reduced at first (smoke, marine herbs and sea breeze, and bacon driven scents) before...

Elegant, with an enticing angel food cake texture to the ripe apple, peach and baked pear flavors. Very spicy, showing hints of cream and plenty of honey on the rich, alluring finish. Drink now through 2035. 20 cases...

The scents and flavors here deliciously resemble that of cinnamon- and lemon-zest-tinged, lightly singed purple plum pastry. And as is often the case with Riesling from this site, there is also a high-toned suggestion of...

95+ The 2020 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese opens with a clear, intense and fascinating floral bouquet with (honey) blossom aromas intermingled with refreshing mineral notes of crushed stones. Round and mouth-filling yet very...

Smoke and reduction still cloud the nose of the 2021 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett, but golden, aromatic, textured fruit somehow combines pink grapefruit and russet pear peel, golden Mirabelle and lime. There's...

Here is a great Mosel Kabinett that needs a bit more time to show what it is really made of. Still very young with a pronounced yeasty character that slowly recedes with aeration, but the white peach and honeysuckle...

A rich and very concentrated Auslese that marries intense dried peach, pear and apricot character with complex spice and a remarkably fresh acidity that gives this great drive. Very compact and spicy finish with great...

Here’s a very lush and sensual Mosel Auslese that nonetheless glides gracefully over the medium- to full-bodied palate making the wine seem lighter and more delicate than it really is. Really concentrated dried peach and...

The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Gold Capsule flashes hints of fresh, juicy, ripe pineapple on the open nose. The pineapple is framed by zesty orange peel vividness that heightens every expression, dancing...

A spectacularly elegant Auslese with impressive concentration and richness. The extremely fresh and mineral acidity is the secret behind this. Stacks of dried stone fruit and dried pear aromas are married to delicate...

Brimming with peach, mini banana and ripe melon aromas this is a delightful light-bodied and mouthwatering riesling Kabinett. Leaps and bounds over the palate. The super-juicy finish pulls you back for more of this...
