| JS 97 (8/2020): If you dream of the great German rieslings of the 1970s and 1980s, then this is a wine for you, even though it is riper and more concentrated than those icons of the past. In spite of the abundant generosity, this has a very long, distinctly cool finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. |

Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Riesling Grosses Gewachs |
$79 |

|
| |
WA 96-98 (8/2020): The 2019 Frühlingsplätzchen GG opens with an excitingly pure, precise and mineral bouquet of ripe and refined Riesling aromas, wet red slate and attractive reductive notes. On the palate, this is a very pure but juicy and very elegant Riesling with ripe and intense fruit aromas that are swirled around by great finesse and elegance as well as the piquant, mineral grip and salinity of the Frühlingsplätzchen. This is precision at its very best and surely one of the finest (and purest) Rieslings you can find in the Nahe Valley from the 2019 vintage. It is most likely the finest Frühlingsplätzchen I have ever tasted from any producer. Tasted as a sample in May 2020.
JS 98 (8/2020): How could this be such a playful wine, yet so deep? So many subtle berry and herbal nuances, also nectarine and peach aromas. Most importantly, they're married to both serious elegance and great depth. Breathtaking mineral freshness at the very long finish. Drink or hold. |

Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs |
$79 |

|
| |
JS 98 (8/2020): A bundle of brilliant contradictions make this exotic, smoky, very concentrated but also light-footed dry riesling a masterpiece. Very serious and complex finish that doesn't want to let go. Drink or hold.
WA 95-96+ (8/2020): Schönleber's 2019 Halenberg GG is ripe and intense on the nose and indicates a rich and powerful yet elegant and complex Riesling with darker tones and flinty aromas that become more evident with aeration, while the initially intense fruit aroma gets reduced. On the palate, this is a rich and textured, pretty juicy but structured Halenberg with fine tannins and a long and intense finish. Compared to the Frühlingsplätzchen, the Halenberg is always late in its development, but as in 2018, I tend to prefer the former from the 2019 vintage at least in its very youth. For now, the Halenberg seems to be very ripe and rich and is structured by tannins rather than the crystallinity of the terroir. Tasted as a sample in May 2020 and I’m already excited to learn how the wine will develop in the coming weeks.
VM 93 (6/2020): Crushed stone and sea breeze along with zesty lime and grapefruit characterize both the pungent nose and the formidably concentrated palate impression. Firmer in feel than the corresponding Frühlingsplätzchen and with sharper, more clearly defined citricity and stony inflections, this shares sense of fullness (at something over 13% alcohol) with the present collection’s other dry wines, but evinces no heaviness and at most the merest hint of heat. Mouthwatering salinity and a shimmering sense of crystalline stony impingement rather unexpectedly rise to the occasion on a finish whose sheer fruit intensity is so prominent. David Schildknecht. |

| WA 92-93 (8/2020): The 2019 Monzinger Niederberg 1G (produced in 2018 for the first time) opens with intense, ripe and clear Riesling fruit intertwined with flinty notes. Intense and pure on the palate, this is a full-bodied, elegant, ripe, very mineral but balanced and even charming premier cru with a seriously structured, pure and salty finish that displays perfectly ripe Riesling fruit again. Tasted as a sample in May 2020. |

Round and intense yet delicate on the palate, this is a dense, piquant and salty, vital and very stimulating Auslese based on early botrytized grapes. The concentration and sweetness is still dominant here and asks for patience. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. |

| WA 93-94 (8/2020): The 2019 Maximin Grünhaus Riesling Herrenberg Kabinett is bright and clear on the delicate, precise and flinty, super finessed nose. Round and juicy on the palate, this is a delicate, piquant and sensual Kabinett with a filigreed structure and a long, intense, stimulatingly salty finish. After 2018, this is another great (or even greater) Kabinett from Maximin von Grünhaus, even though it drinks rather like a feinherb Spätlese in the classic, quaffable style. |

|
| |
| WA 95 (10/2020): Bottled in early September, the 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese feinherb "Ur-alte Reben" is very fine and subtle on the deep, intense and aromatic but pure, fresh and flinty-elegant nose with a touch of oak. Silky, refined and fresh on the palate, this is a very complex and crystalline Riesling with enormous length and complexity. A gorgeous wine that needs years to show its talents. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. |

WA 98 (4/2021): From the Pergentsknopp, the 2019 Scharzhofberger P Riesling GG opens very intense and flinty on the lemon-scented nose, and it is even more straight and challenging than the generic Scharzhofberger, with lemon leaf aromas and vulnerable stony aromas of wet crushed slate and quartzite. Piquant and fresh on the palate, this is a lean, tight, dry, grippy and persistently salty but also dense and juicy Pergentsknopp that lacks a couple of years of bottle age to shine fully bright, but this is melting pot with loads of perfectly ripe Riesling grapes. The acidity is fresh and piquant yet ripe, and the textural composition is still more edgy and rough compared to the generic Scharzhofberger. However, this makes the 2019 a tight and tensioned, very fresh and even juicy "P" whose true potential will be revealed only in 5-10 years from now. The finish, however, is spectacularly long, refined, juicy and very intense. To buy or not to buy? Certainly yes, if you have the right storage capacity. However, I'd buy the generic "Scharz" as well, and drink it first. Tasted from AP 21 20 in March 2021.
JS 96 (8/2020): This is a bold, ambitious wine with a serious tannin structure behind the quite delicate, white-peach and white-thorn aromas. The concentration is impressive and carries this daring style. So much potential. Better after 2021. |

| |
| WA 93-94 (8/2020): The 2019 Kirchspiel Riesling GG is pure, fresh and spicy as well as coolish on the still yeasty but substantial and complex nose. Lush yet precise and refined on the elegant palate, this is a highly tensioned, grippy and chalky dry Riesling with great finesse, sustainable grip, intensity and stimulating salinity. A great Kirchspiel! Tasted as a sample in April 2020. |

Westhofener Morstein Grosses Gewachs |
$89 |
5 |
|
| |
| WA 94+ (10/2024): The 2019 Morstein Riesling GG shows a very clear, fresh and open nose with floral fruit and fine iodine notes. On the palate, it's slender and playful, with a fine raciness and a salty lime note as well as delicately pricking tannins. This is dense, juicy and long lasting, even if it is still delicately drying in the stimulating salty finish. Like quite a few 2019s, which should actually be of superb quality, judging by the experiences of early in the summer of 2020, this Morstein is still very reserved, so it would be better not to open it just yet. Its time will come. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024. |
