Tasting Notes"Dense nose and super-friendly fruit on the palate. Not overtly sweet; just beautifully precise and balanced. This is class! And although it will surely develop more subtlety, it is actually drinkable now because the fruit counterbalances the acidity. 18 points" jancisrobinson.com------"Pure, precise and bright on the nose, with delicately flinty and spicy aromas, the 2021 Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese is a fabulously piquant and stimulating Spätlese with mineral intensity, complexity, grip and tension, as if there were electric wires in this wine. It's enormously vital and stimulating. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. 94 points" Stephan Reinhardt, RobertParker.com------"What an expressive and exotic nose this remarkable Spatlese has, but that’s really the least of it. The giant energy and mineral freshness are like a whale rising from the depths and blowing water out if its spout. Then comes a cornucopia of fruit at the finish, the brilliance and finesse of which makes it really hard to describe. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. 98 points" jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"Sensational nose of dried peach and apricot, plus a slew of exotic-fruit aromas, most notably King Alfonso mango. Great concentration and succulence, but also very pure and precise, this is a 2021 noble riesling masterpiece! Extremely long, floral-honey and wet-stone finish that charges off into the sunset at breakneck speed. The pinnacle of the vintage from this producer. Drink or hold. 99 points" jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"The nose of this Spatlese makes me think of 18th century engravings of pear and white peach varieties, but that only hints at the enveloping and astonishingly fine fruit that follows on the palate. A masterpiece of finesse, precision and balance, but even that doesn’t say the most important thing, which is the breathtaking leafy freshness and stony clarity at the stunningly long finish. When will it ever stop? From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 99 points" jamessuckling.com |

IB | ||||
Tasting Notes“A stunningly elegant and vibrant riesling Kabinett that is packed with white peach and honeysuckle aromas. Succulent on the front of the light-bodied palate, then with a crystalline purity at the finish that takes your breath away. This is not analytically dry, but plenty of enthusiastic wine drinkers will say that is exactly what it is. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 96 points.” (SP) Jamessuckling.com Aug ‘24 |

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesA revelation to taste! The grapes are foot trodden and fermented in small oak barrels on the lees, for a minimum of 16 months. Astheimer comes from young vines from the Astheimer Karthauser 'grand cru', on limestone, giving this an intensely mineral character with crystalline fruits, plus some brioche and hazelnut and a saline finish. 12.5% abv.

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesEven though this is 'only' an Estate wine, the yields for this Pinot Noir are low, at 45hl/ha, a similar level to many village wines in Burgundy. The wine is matured for 13 months in used, small wooden barrels. Fresh red berry fruit character, superb balance on the palate with 13% alcohol and tense, energetic acidity. 13.0% abv. RKL |

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesIntense, bright fruit and floral aromas on the nose. The use of a fast fermentation brings out the minerality on the taut, focused palate, which is savoury, with understated apple and peach fruit, leading to a long, chiselled finish. 11.5% abv. RKL |

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesThe Burgstadter Berg Erste Lage is equivalent to a premier cru, with grapes from Fürst's two top sites in Centgrafenberg and Hündsruck. A perfumed, floral nose, intense but weightless on the palate. The soil is rich in iron, producing savoury style with intsense flabours of red fruits, iron and blood, leading to an extremely long finish. 13.0% abv. RKL |

IB | ||||
Tasting Notes“Cool, smoky, dancing. More race than refinement with an unbelievably saline core. When the food is salty, so the saying goes, the cook is in love. Does that count here too? Grippier and more driven than the Hermannshöhle; with verve and vitality. A stunningly minimalist and filigreed approach that succeeds in a vintage with maximum challenges. 17.5 points" jancisrobinson.com (PS)------“The 2024 Riesling Norheimer Dellchen Grosses Gewächs was made in tiny quantities this year. It is from a porphyry site with shale cover. Flint, herb and lemon aromas come together in a most enticing combination. The palate is taut, svelte and luminous. Stony and fine, elegance runs through it like sunlight, heightening the citric freshness imbued with peppery, zesty savor. The 2024 is so linear and bright yet completely ripe. Cornellius says that they picked just 1,500 kg per hectare. (Bone-dry). Drinking Window 2025 – 2055. 94-96 points" Anne Krebiehl MW , Vinous.com------“Exceptionally refined and racy, this has terrific Amalfi lemon freshness and white peach fruit on the very focused, medium-bodied palate. Incredible drive in the super-long finish. The aromatic finesse of the wild flower, peach and Amalfi lemon nose is almost as great as the textural finesse. Incredible delicacy in the super-long finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. 98 points" Stuart Piggott, jamessuckling.com |
