Germany

We love aged rieslings and are always searching for parcels of older wines from top producers in Germany, particularly Dönhoff in the Nahe.  Recently we have offered the latest releases from the historic Schloss Johannisberg Estate in the Rheingau and the wonderful Mosel wines of Joh Jos Prüm.

Tasting Notes"Introvert but intriguing nose. Pure ripe stewed-apple nose with good texture underneath. Should make fine old bones but it’s currently embryonic. 16.5++ points" jancisrobinson.com------"This is minerally and salty with impressive chalk, dried-apple and pear character and a honey undertone. Full-bodied, sweet and very rich. More like an Auslese. Tangy finish. Drink now. 94 points" jamessuckling.com------"Fresh quince and lime announced on the nose take on a delightfully sorbet-like character on the palate, at once caressingly creamy and brightly juicy. Bittersweet nut extracts and lightly smoldering, ore-like smokiness harken to the character of this year's Hermannshöhle Grosses Gewächs. The resonant, subtly spicy and mouthwateringly salt-tinged finish opens up a shimmering vista of crystalline stone. 95 points" David Schildknecht, Vinous.com------"The 2018 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese is deep and flinty as well as complex on the stony nose with its ripe and even stewed peach aromas. Silky, lush and refined on the palate, this is a concentrated yet pure, crystalline and delicate Riesling Spätlese with a long and complex, very mineral and filigreed, lingering salty finish. Highly stimulating and fresh. A gorgeous Spätlese from the famous Hermannshöhle. Tasted in July 2019. 95 points" Stephan Reinhardt, RobertParker.com

Tasting Notes“From a single 1,200-liter barrel made from the domaine's own trees and aged on the lees for 30 months (of which six were on the full lees), the golden-yellow-colored 2019 Schloss Johannisberg Goldlack Riesling Trocken offers a deep, pure, intense and fleshy, classic Johannisberg bouquet with ripe Riesling berries and, from Zalto's Burgundy glass, beautifully ripe and intense fruit aromas intertwined with herbal and quartzite terroir notes that represent the less well known iron content of the red loam soils in the deeper layers of the Schloss Johannisberger grand cru. Full-bodied, very elegant, refined and clear on the palate, this is a powerful yet pure and balanced, salty, piquant and stringent, highly energetic and classy Riesling with fine tannin grip (intermingled with the lingering salinity) and discreet bitters on the rich and intense, very long aftertaste. This is a beautiful wine at rest after spending time in the nine-meter-deep cellar vaults of the historic domaine. Highly Impressive. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022. 98 points." Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate------“Tasting this makes me feel like Goethe is just about to walk in the door! Self-confidently old-fashioned in the way that a 1920s Bentley car or an 1820s Breguet pocket watch is. Yes, you can analyze and note that there’s an oxidative side to it, but the combination of creaminess and silky bone-dryness is like nothing else I can think of. And below the waterline of direct perception is a gigantic structure that drives the mind-blowing finish! Matured for 30 months in neutral wooden casks. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.” Stuart Pigott. 100 points ." James Suckling

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 NotesFine citrus aromas on the nose (lime) and riper peach and Mirabelle plum aromas. Impressive concentration on the palate, with an exceptionally fine line of acidity and intense minerality adding tension. There is loads of fruit at the core of the palate, but its not overt and the overall impression is of minerality and energy. A very high class wine. RKL

Tasting Notes"Delicate black fruit, ripe strawberries and bitter orange. Soft and juicy on the palate without ever losing its shape. Chalky finesse, animating acidity and beautiful balance. Loads of playfulness in the tangy red fruit. Although still quite young and taut, it’s drinking beautifully right now, with a crunchy, fresh expression. 2023-2028. 17 points." (PS) Jancisrobinson.com, Aug '23------"An open, clear sweet cherry fruit, with a hint of cassis and subtle herbal notes. The palate is juicy and fine, the clarity of the fruit is absolutely outstanding for the vintage, the structure elegant and persistent, slightly mineral-tinged. 95 points." Ulrich Sautter, Falstaff Wine, Feb '24------"Still youthful, but already extremely elegant and precise, with a delicate sweetness at its heart, this is a great German pinot noir that defies everything the weather threw at the grapes during this challenging growing season. Super-fine tannins. Fascinating long finish with notes of cooked red beets and wet earth. From biodynamically grown grapes. Unfiltered. Drink or hold. 95 points."

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
