| WS 95 (2/2000): Like a full moon on water, this illuminates the palate in a warm glow of peach, vanilla and citrus. Gentle in its approach, yet well supported by tangy acidity. Great harmony and expression. Drink now through 2010. |

Lenz Riesling Trocken |

WA 90 (2/2018): From the red slate soils in Weiler and the Monzinger Frühlingsplätzchen, not fermented to full dryness, the 2016 Nahe Riesling Lenz opens with a beautifully pure and slatey bouquet. On the palate, this is a perfectly round and juicy Riesling, and the 15 grams of residual sugar give a lovely balance and fruity impression. The finish is piquant and salty. The 2016 already drinks beautifully but can be aged easily for 10 to 15 years.
JS 90 (11/2017): If you like fresh dry whites that are juicy rather than bone-dry then you'll love this medium-bodied riesling that's a cornucopia of white and yellow peach fruit, yet ends crisp and clean. Drink now. |

JG 91+ (3/2016): The 2015 Mineral Trocken is perhaps even a touch more precise than the lovely Lenz bottling. The bouquet is pure, youthfully complex and very transparent, offering up scents of blood orange, pink grapefruit, lemongrass, striking minerality, a hint of petrol and a topnote of fresh almond. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a fine core, lovely cut and grip and a very long, vibrant and perfectly balanced finish. Another stellar wine. 2016-2035+.
WA 89 (12/2016): The 2015 Riesling Trocken Mineral is from the blue slate and quartzite soils of the Halenberg and its neighboring plots. It opens with a deep and intense bouquet of perfectly ripe Riesling berries intertwined with smoky/dusty mineral flavors of crushed stones. On the palate, this is a very elegant and medium-weighted dry Riesling with lingering salinity and piquancy. The finish is really stony and the aromatic Riesling flavors are lovely and pure. A very delicate but also serious Riesling. |

| VM 92 (1/2007): Golden yellow. Full-throttle aromas of pear preserves, wild honey and clove woven into the pungent, musky botrytis character.The candied apricot flavor is studded with lime peel and a hint of brown spice. Rich and creamy, but not as impressive as the gold capsule auslese. Joel B. Payne. |

JS 93 (11/2017): Brimming with fruit, but also very elegant thanks to its bright acidity this is so delicious now it will be difficult to wait, but it has the deep structure that will enable to hold through 2035 and potentially beyond.
WA 92 (2/2018): Fermented in stainless steel, the 2016 Nahe Riesling Frühlingsplätzchen Spätlese is a bit reductive on the nose and shows very fine aromas of crushed slate. The wine has lovely, fine and vibrant acidity cutting through the lush fruit, and it finishes with lingering salinity that is truly stimulating. A beautiful Spätlese, although it tastes quite sweet (77 grams of sugar per liter). Tasted December 2017. |

Monzinger Fruhtau Riesling |
$38.99 |
11 |
|
| |
JG 92 (3/2016): The Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling Trocken has been renamed in 2015 as Frütau (which means Morning Dew in German), as it is no longer allowed to use the name of the vineyard for both a Grosses Gewächs bottling and a second Trocken from the same vineyard. The 2015 Frütau Riesling Trocken is an excellent wine, wafting from the glass in a complex blend of apple, lime peel, gentle botanicals, wild yeasts, dried flowers and a lovely base of red soil tones. On the palate the wine is medium-full, pure and precise, with plenty of filigree, a good core, bright acids and excellent length and grip on the long and dancing finish. A lovely example that really shows the elegant and energetic side of the vintage. 2016-2040.
WA 90 (12/2016): The 2015 Riesling Trocken Frühtau (meaning morning dew; formerly named Frühlingsplätzchen like the Grosses Gewächs, so the VDP asked for a change, keyword: Lagenverbrauch) is from younger vines and certain plots that deliver bigger, less concentrated grapes that Frank Schönleber does not want to use for his grand cru. The wine opens with very pure, herbal flavored crushed red rocks with some tropical fruit and lemony aromas. Light, pure and elegant on the palate, this is a pretty complex and juicy Riesling with remarkable finesse and elegance. The salinity combined with the ripe juiciness and the mineral precision make this a highly delicate, but serious and expressive Riesling from one of the top terroirs in the Nahe valley. |

|

JS 93 (11/2017): Both serious and joyful this has a complex interplay of herbal, smoky and peachy aromas, the wine turning from juicy to austere at the long mineral finish. Drink or hold, and this should have at least a decade ahead of it. From the Frühlingsplätzchen top site.
WA 92 (2/2018): The 2016 Nahe Riesling Trocken "Frühtau" is super precise and spicy on the flinty nose, with tropical and citrus fruit aromas. Round and almost lush on the palate with piquant acidity, celery flavors and perfect balance, this is a salty-piquant and very precise Riesling from younger vines in the Frühlingsplätzchen grand cru. |

Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Auslese |
$46.99 |

|
| |
JG 94+ (3/2016): The 2015 Halenberg Auslese from the Schönleber family is a beautiful wine, wafting from the glass in a nascently complex and very precise blend of sweet grapefruit, lime, bee pollen, slate, a potpourri of spring flowers and a delicate topnote of wild yeasts. On the palate the wine is elegant, suave and medium-full, with a creamy core of fruit, vibrant acids, Outstanding focus and grip and a very, very long, seamless and nascently complex finish. This will be an Outstanding wine with a bit of bottle age. 2019-2055.
WA 95 (12/2016): Picked on two days in late October, the 2015 Riesling Monzinger Halenberg Auslese is very clear and fresh on the precise, very well defined nose where pineapple, almond cake, flinty and herbal aromas are displayed. The precision is repeated on the palate, which is crystalline but also creamy due to the lush, ripe and bright fruit. The wine displays great finesse and lingering salinity, which is so typical for the Halenberg. This is a delicious, really stimulating Auslese. Total production: 600 liters. |

| WA 93 (2/2010): Quinine, yellow plum preserves, fresh blueberries, lime zest, and alkaline mineral notes distinctively characterize the Schonlebers’ 2008 Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Eiswein (which was to be auctioned). A vanilla icing-like sense of confectionary sweetness on the palate gains some contrast in the form of tart fruit skin and bitter citrus zest. There is a wafting sense of elegance and delicacy that – like the wine’s sense of purity – deeply impresses; but either you need to bring to it, or the occasion of its being served, a strong predilection for sheer sweetness, or else you need to play the game of chance that is nearly always involved with cellaring Eiswein. I’m sure this wine will be fine 6-8 years from now – perhaps even more complex – but that will scarcely be enough time to make a dent in its perceived sense of sweetness. |

JS 97 (11/2017): Enormous golden ripeness and awesome elegance make this one of the top drier style wines of the vintage in Germany. The extremely fine nuanced aromas and the silkiness of the super-long finish make me swoon. Just beginning to give its best, but with several decades ahead of it.
VM 94 (1/2014): Pale golden yellow. Vibrant aromas of apricot pit, mint and oyster shell. The poised passion fruit extract is juxtaposed by a bright, vivacious acidity. A wine of enormous depth and poise. Pure, refined and finely spiced on the very long finish. One of the finer ice wines of the vintage. Joel B. Payne. |

Monzinger Halgans Riesling |
$44.99 |
2 |
|
| |
JG 92+ (3/2016): Similar to the above, the Halenberg Riesling Trocken has been now given the proprietary name of Halgans starting in the 2015 vintage. This too is an absolutely terrific wine, which hails from a parcel of younger vines planted in one of the warmer sections of the Halenberg. The bouquet is an Outstanding blend of pear, grapefruit, plenty of smokiness, a fine base of slate, just a touch of moss and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish, long and complex, with bright, seamless acids, great focus and a very long, refined and vibrant finish. Tout en finesse! 2016-2040.
WA 91 (12/2016): Pure and very flinty, with crushed rock notes on the nose, the 2015 Riesling Trocken Halgans (from the steepest part of the Halenberg and younger vines) is deep, darker flavored than the Frühtau and dominated by aristocratic Riesling aromas. Pretty intense and almost rich on the palate, this is a medium-bodied, intense and complex wine with a lot of salinity and mineral grip on the palate. It is even more intense and more smoky than the Frühtau, and its juiciness is accompanied by stony and salty flavors. Nevertheless, there is challenging purity and structure. |

|

JS 91 (11/2017): Rather closed and slightly oaky this wine has impressive richness and textural complexity. Better from 2018, but has at least another five years ahead of it after that.
WA 89 (2/2018): Clear and crystalline on the nose, the 2015 Nahe Grauburgunder Trocken "S" is a round, elegant and aromatic Pinot Gris with a creamy texture and fine acidity. The finish is long, fine and complex and reveals a mineral texture. Like the Pinot Blanc, the Pinot Gris is sourced in the Frühlingsplätzchen, on reddish slate. |

WS 92 (4/2017): There are plenty of rich, smoky notes to the roasted peach, pear tart and baked pineapple flavors of this white. Fresh acidity is very lively into the finish, which offers slate and savory accents, and plenty of black currant tones. Drink now through 2030. 100 cases imported.
VM 92 (11/2016): Apple, lime, sloe berry and Bing cherry emerge from behind a veil of yeast and other fermentative aromas, then inform a polished, buoyant, subtly creamy palate. Shrouded though the nose of this Spätlese might be for now, it finishes with a lovely sense of transparency to piquant notes of fruit pit, green herbs, wet stone and maritime salinity. David Schildknecht.
WA 91 (3/2016): The 2014 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese (AP #14) is very sweet, piquant and juicy on the palate. The acidity is racy and piquant, but well integrated into a dense and juicy texture. The finish is nicely salty and reveals a good grip. There is a small percentage of botrytis here that gives this wine a super ripe and concentrated Riesling flavor. I tasted the wine only ice-cold, unfortunately. |

| WA 94 (6/2009): The Prum 2007 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule smells so intensely of pink grapefruit, mint, and cassis that – I pray the Prums will forgive this inevitable if sacrilegious comparison! – I imagine Scheurebe. Honey and caramel on the creamy, delicate palate offer counterpoint with the wine’s luscious citrus and cooling, invigorating herbal notes. In conclusion, this practically explodes with a shower of citrus, herbal essences, salt, and crushed stone. |

WA 95 (3/2016): The gold-capsuled 2014 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese GK (AP #18) represents a botrytis selection and offers highly delicate fruit and flinty-slate aromas, where tropical fruit aromas mingle with wet stone flavors. The attack on the palate is racy and piquant; the wine is complex and very pure, highly elegant and finesse-full, yet intense and concentrated, with ripe pineapple flavors and a pure, salty, very mineral finish. This is highly delicate Riesling with a complex terroir expression.
WS 95 (3/2017): This has flavors of peach pie and apricot tart that are well-honeyed and filled with creamy unctuousness. Pastry notes show midpalate, with a finish that offers savory richness and plenty of minerally accents. A pure and powerful style. Best from 2018 through 2038. 40 cases imported.
VM 95 (11/2016): This non-auction gold-capsule bottling delivers a multifaceted nose featuring candied lime peel, apple and quince jellies, heliotrope and an intriguing meld of yeasty stale bread, florally honeyed and subtly truffly manifestations of botrytis. The creamy, expansive palate reprises all of the aforementioned elements, but also introduces generous parallel juiciness of fresh apple and lime. Displaying wonderful lift and delicacy, the lusciously lingering finish is transparent to stony, crystalline and floral nuances. David Schildknecht |

WS 95 (2/2016): This offers a gorgeous array of delicate, floral-tinged green pear, peach and apple flavors that are explosively juicy and fruity-tasting, with a caressing mouthfeel and a finish redolent of dried mint and spice. Drink now through 2040.
WA 95 (2/2015): The 2013 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers a noble sweet, very fine aroma of wet and flinty stones intertwined with grapefruit and lemon aromas. Lovely sweet and intense, but also delicate on the palate, this medium to full-flavored 7.5% alcohol wine reveals a great elegance and finesse and finishes with delicately juicy, grapefruit aromas. (I tasted AP number #15 14.)
VM 93+ (3/2015): Pale golden yellow. Sublime aromas of apricot, white lime and brown spices. In spite of the rich, glossy nectarine fruit, refreshing acidity makes this Auslese appear light and superbly elegant. With a lively spice character animating the long, sweet, delicate finish, this is my favorite of the standard Ausleses. Joel B. Payne |

VM 94+ (11/2016): This is especially shrouded by yeasty and otherwise fermentative aromas, but site-typical apple, pear and vanilla emerge. The creamy, delicate and expansive palate offers a delightful, chiffon-like mingling of fresh and glazed, confitured fruits. Vanilla bean and fruit seeds provide counterpoint on a lusciously lingering finish transparent to stony and saline inflections as well as haunting floral nuances.
WS 94 (3/2017): Crunchy and minerally, with plenty of fresh acidity behind the flavors of green apple, peach, pear tart and lemon bar. Slate accents show midpalate, leading to a snappy finish that offers savory candied herbal elements. Best from 2020 through 2040. 120 cases imported.
WA 92 (3/2016): The 2014 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett is more open than the Graacher Himmelreich (#AP 19) and displays a very delicate bouquet of white fruits intermixed with vegetal and subtle slate aromas. Refined and juicy on the palate, this wine has a perfect balance of a fruity sweetness and a finely racy acidity. This Kabinett is very expressive and complex in its mineral and grippy finish. It is impressively long in the finish, but due to the piquancy and minerality, not due to alcohol that is just 8%. The Sonnenuhr is more complex and intense than the more delicate and filigreed Himmelreich. |

Mulheimer Sonnenlay Alte Reben Riesling Kabinett Feinherb |
$19 |

|
| |
| VM 89 (6/2017): With marginally higher acidity and lower alcohol than its “Kabinett feinherb” companions, this bottling from the evocatively named Himmelsleiter (“Heaven’s Ladder”) vineyard within Sonnenlay is essentially a Spätlese, but the Richters are having increasing marketing success with feinherb and consumer expectations for a Richter Spätlese are of significantly more sweetness. Zesty, piquantly pit-tinged citrus and apple dominate a pungent nose and a tight, firm palate. There is significant astringency on a finish whose sheer persistence is, however, impressive. And fortunately, primary juiciness serves for some refreshment while wet stone underpinnings leave little doubt as to this Riesling’s Mosel origins. This will definitely merit revisiting, but caution is advised in the meantime lest bitter elements get the upper hand as it ages. David Schildknecht |

| WA 92 (2/2006): The pale green gold of the 2004 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese A.P. #8 gives the appearance of a Kabinett and exhibits the clarity, buoyancy, and dynamism that characterized this year’s auction Spatlese, yet with both Eiswein-like and shriveled-fruit manifestations of tiny berry concentration. A lovely spice, florality, and soothing honeyed cast impinge on both the nose and palate, along with pear nectar, yellow plum, and a sprinkling of white raisins. Deep, Domprobst-typical nuttiness and complex, seemingly ineffable mineral strata are woven into a richly textured, enveloping and multicolored carpet of flavor that nevertheless lies lightly on one’s palate. |

| VM 91 (5/2016): From early pickings and high-elevation portions of its site, this delicate, polished, judiciously sweet Riesling brims with juicy, mint-tinged kiwi, lime and honeydew melon, subtly nutty and saline savor adding to the appeal of a long, mouthwatering finish that further benefits from a Mosel-like sounding board of wet stone. (It’s hard to believe, but the analysis reveals 50 grams of residual sugar.) “A good Kabinett has to come from a top site,” noted Fröhlich, “because where else could you harvest early enough to get this sort of efficacious acidity and modest must weights yet ripe flavors?” David Schildknecht. |

| WA 93 (2/2013): A Schneider 2011 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Beerenauslese positively prickles in its high-toned aromatic evocation of lemon rind, fresh ginger, herbal essences, and pit fruit distillates. Tangerine and preserved lemon slathered in honey, caramel, and nut pastes gain by the invigorating, metaphorically cooling palate presence of ginger, mint and cress. This is rather sweet-sour for now, but not to the degree of its Auslese Junior counterpart, and it is also compellingly penetrating, multifaceted and persistent. Look for at least 40 years of impressive performance as well as enhanced profundity. |

| VM 93 (10/2016): A nougat-like note and a hint of maraschino add to the confectionery impression of candied grapefruit and lemon peel. Complementary spiced apple jelly tinged with caramel and studded with white raisin testifies to fruit that was considerably shriveled and botrytized. This is an extravagantly fruited and strongly ennobled Auslese with a creamy, glycerol-rich feel and unabashed sweetness reinforcing that impression. Thankfully, a luscious sense of primary juiciness remains on the soothingly and seductively lingering finish. David Schildknecht. |
