99 Points! The nose is like diving into a pool of violets and discovering a wealth of earthy, spicy nuances. Like a great Cote-Rotie on ice but with only a few similarities such as incredible finesse despite very deep, fine tannins. The finish is like climbing a mountain, going and going until you suddenly realize you’re standing on the peak of Everest. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com

95 Points! A hypnotic nose of allspice, cloves, cinnamon and summer flowers with touches of licorice and wild berries. Superfocused and energetic, this has the kind of concentration and energy that a red wine needs in order to age for decades. However, it also has a ton of berry fruit on the compact, medium-bodied palate. Very fine tannins drive the extremely long, linear finish. Drinkable now but best from 2026. - JamesSuckling.com

95 Points! The 2023 Riesling Pfaffenberg has subtle citrus and a darker aspect that disappears on the palate. The body is zesty, driven and energetic, with stony determination and citrus wings, grapefruit, tangerine and all the tangy stuff. Despite this soaring nature, this is anchored in stone. The 2023 is compelling, strait-laced, precise and oh-so juicy. Wonderfully dry. - Anne Krehbiel MW, Vinous Media

93 Points! Cool and elegant, yet juicy and wonderfully fresh, this medium-bodied gruner vetliner has the garden herb and celery aromas of the grape. As lightly as this skips over the palate, and as crisp as it is in the finish, there’s very good substance here. It should stay fresh for quite a few years. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap. - JamesSuckling.com

94 Points! The 2019 Ried Loibenberg Riesling Smaragd comes from three very different spots of this large cru.

Excellent! 13% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in June 2021. - Stephan Reinhardt, robertparker.com
