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 |

Tasting Notes“This dry riesling has a hypnotic beauty that leaves no doubt how this wine redefines what peachy means in the context of this grape variety. As it aerates, a wealth of wild berry and flower nuances develop and expand. Given the mind-bending concentration of this wine, it is staggeringly fresh and absolutely precise. Then comes the finish, which is like a prima ballerina dancing on pointe off into the distance. Drink from release. 100 points.” (SP) Jamessuckling.com Aug ‘24 |

Tasting Notes“Enormous finesse and subtlety make this sensational riesling Auslese stand out. There’s terrific concentration and power, but all this is underplayed. So graceful and delightful, this makes you want to linger and wander through its innumerable lanes and alleys. Just a hint of floral honey, but that wraps everything up in a glaze of ravishing beauty. Drink or hold. 99 points.” (SP) Jamessuckling.com Aug ‘24 |

Tasting Notes“Welcome to the Bladerunner of Nahe riesling Spatlese. This is also extremely fine and complex, with a cornucopia of stone fruit, exotic fruit and spices. Radical stony minerality and racy acidity, yet with a feather-light mouthfeel on the barely medium-bodied palate. Then you wonder if the wine will ever leave you, so long is the almost endless farewell. Drink or hold. 99 points.” (SP) Jamessuckling.com Aug ‘24 |

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 |
