Fresh but fully ripe mangoes, apricot pie, Danish pasties, and then a touch of some subtle spices, such as cinnamon and turmeric. Very layered and full-bodied, but transparent and agile, with a serious impression of minerality on the long finish. Hints of salinity. Drink now or hold.James Suckling | 95 JSThe 2018 Riesling Herrenletten "VDP. Erste Lage" is clear, deep, pure and fresh on the stony/herbal, rather coolish but intense and even flinty nose of wet stone. Lush and piquant on the palate, this is an elegant and refined, salty Riesling with elegant power, stimulating salinity and good grip. Tasted in Haardt, December 2019.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 92+ RPThis shows a little bit of oomph, with powerful acidity cutting through the creamy notes of apricot, roasted pineapple and grapefruit. Ginger and tarragon details emerge midpalate and linger on the persistent, well-rounded finish. Almost there, but better to wait a few more years. Best from 2022 through 2032. 115 cases imported.Wine Spectator | 92 WS

Funky, yeasty reduction still clings to the nose, obscuring fruit for now, but also sending a promise for the future. More air allows salty yeastiness to peek through. The palate then dives into zesty citrus freshness accented by sprinkles of pepper and crushed fennel seed. The depth and intensity is astonishing and citrus lingers long on the finish.Wine Enthusiast | 96 WEA wine of dramatic contrasts with so much stony character, but also considerable richness, including a hint of butter-cream from malolactic fermentation. If you like that tension then all is cool, but for us the wine has so much to give, but is pulling in multiple directions simultaneously. The rather tannic finish is a bit one-sided. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.James Suckling | 92 JS
