93 Points! Powerful and structured, but also blessed with a ton of Amalfi lemon and dried pear character. This is a very strong 2021 dry Pfalz riesling that’s been built for the long term and will repay any and all the patience you put into maturing it. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.- JamesSuckling.com

93 Points! Wonderful stone fruit and juicy orange aromas pour from the glass, yet this is elegant and refreshing thanks to the stony acidity and chalkiness that build at the long, vibrant finish. The first vintage of this wine. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap. - JamesSuckling.com

94 Points! The 2018 Grand Cru Hengst Riesling blends all the six parcels that were picked between September 28 and October 9 and vinified them in cask until the bottling in early July 2019. The wine is very intense, fresh and pure on the complex, lemony and still phenolic nose. Full-bodied, rich and very elegant on the palate, this is a lush but refined and sustainably saline Hengst with grapefruit bitterness and a long and promising finish. This is a powerful and age-worthy Riesling of great complexity even if not generosity in terms of perfect ripeness. 13.3% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt, robertparker.com

93 Points! Some people are frightened of dry riesling, because they think the acidity will bite, but this is so generous (plenty of fruit-salad aromas) and, although it's decisively dry, there's nothing even vaguely resembling a sharp edge. Substantial, pithy finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. - JamesSuckling.com

92 Points! The Langenlonsheimer 2019 Riesling Königsschild is fruity and savory up front on the nose that represents the limestone terroir mixed with loess and loam as well as fully ripe and aromatic yet precise and coolish fruit with lime rind, grapefruit, tea and floral aromas. Round and intense on the palate, with a dense and concentrated texture, this is a full-bodied yet compact, filigreed and finely racy Königsschild with tight, lingering mineral freshness and good power and structure. - Stephan Reinhardt, robertparker.com

93 Points! Deep and concentrated, with ample stone and citrus aromas, the mirabelle aroma as intense as that of Amalfi lemon. Quite an austere style, but with all this ripeness to balance the firm structure that’s no problem. Intense herbal and chalky character at the very focused finish. Still very young, this should develop magnificently with a bit more bottle age. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com

93 Points, Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022! Brilliant aromas of jasmine, peach, lime and slate mark this exuberant Riesling. Charming, harmonious and vibrant, with a long aftertaste echoing the fruit, floral and mineral notes. Drink now through 2028. - Wine Spectator

93 Points! The 2021 Juffer Kabinett is clear, deep and finely reductive on the flinty, intense and well-concentrated nose. Savory and lush on the palate, with delicate salinity and precise mineral acidity that uplifts the sweetness (40 grams per liter or a bit more) of this Juffer Kabinett, this is a consistent, very elegant and promising Kabinett that will be fascinating in about five or six years but can be aged for at least four decades. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt, robertparker.com

93 Points! Offers an aroma redolent of fresh-cut apples, with flavors to match, along with ripe gooseberry, white raspberry and peach. The juicy finish features accents of meringue and plenty of spice. Drink now through 2040. - Wine Spectator

93 Points! John Hughes is the hero of high-quality, value-for-money Riesling in Australia. We love him for it...The 2021 No. 44 is from the Eden Valley and boasts the mineral acid line and taut, austere line that the region does so well. At an elevation of over 440 meters, and the ground littered with skeletal, podzolic soils, the Eden is an ideal place for Riesling, as we see here. Pithy acidity (enhanced, I am sure, by the early pick and resultant 11.5% alcohol) is couched within a field of spring flowers, crushed rocks and citrus zest. Super good. - Erin Larkin, robertparker.com

92 Points! This hinges to lemon citrus and has an elegant nose with almost essence-like intensity. The palate has a smooth, fleshy and softly round feel. Elegantly fleshy and plenty of fine acidity below the fruit here. Screw cap. - JamesSuckling.com

94 Points! Like the Steinmassel vinified in stainless steel, the 2019 Ried Heiligenstein 1ÖTW Kamptal Riesling was bottled in late June 2020. The wine opens with herbal, minty notes of bright yet finely concentrated and even dried fruits. Full-bodied and enormously concentrated yet still very tight on the palate, this is an ambitious and grippy Heiligenstein that needs some years or a lot of aeration to sing. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in June 2021. - Stephan Reinhardt, robertparker.com

95 Points! An extremely delicate and intensely mineral Mosel Kabinett with notes of dripping ferns, wet moss and garden herbs. Super-elegant and very refined, but with impressive energy that drives this across the palate and off into the cool distance. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com
