| Stuart Pigott | |||||
| "Great! very tight with steely acidity and fine botrytis flavours, the '89 Auslese Gold Cap showing even more depth and richness from botrytis, yet still miraculously fine and elegant. The '89 BA is similar, only more weighty and honeyed." | |||||
1989 Von Simmern Rauenthaler Baiken BA (375ml)
List Price:
|
$90.00
|
||||
| Stuart Pigott | |||||
| "Outstanding? If the '89 BA's reticent bouquet develops well, it will be a great wine. It already has an astonishing balance of scintillating acidity and extremely concentrated spicey exotic fruits. The finish is fo almost firey intensity, and the wine ahs enormous ageing potential." | |||||

|
||||
| Wine Spectator 90 | |||||
| Lovely ripe fruit character, with aromas of peach and apricot that carry through to the finish. The rich texture retains a juiciness courtesy of the well-integrated acidity. Best from 2002 through 2008. | |||||

2008 Donnhoff Norheimer Kirscheck Riesling Spatlese (750ml)
List Price:
|
$42.30
|
||||
| Terry Thiese | |||||
| In this humble taster's opinion, these are the greatest Rieslings on earth. No other wine, anywhere, exceeds the clarity, polish, complexity and sheer beauty of flavor of this grower's finest wines. Simply, like the most perfect Riesling that can ever be. ...its quite feline, gentle, dear, and calm. Less animated and frisky, but by no means worse! Just more lambent, tranquil. The strawberries are ripe, the basket beckons, the sun has started to warm them. | |||||
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 90 | |||||
| Pale golden yellow with a hint of green. Subtle honeysuckle aromas blend with hyacinth and lime. Pure, polished peachy fruit with a very refined minerality drift dreamily across the palate. Finishes delicate and quite long. Joel B. Payne | |||||
| Wine Spectator 92 | |||||
| This is pure and translucent, allowing its pear, apple and stone aromas and flavors to sine. Presision balance and fine length complete the profile. | |||||
| Robert Parker 92 | |||||
| Fresh lemon, grapefruit, diverse red berries and buddleia hauntingly scent the Donnhoff 2008 Norheimer Kirschheck Riesling Spatlese and inform a palate of utmost refinement and delicacy, transparent to salt, stone, gingery spice, and floral diversity. Juicy, tart, faintly bitter suggestions of fresh pineapple add invigoration to a long, refreshing finish. This represents an unusually vivacious, incipiently complex Kirschheck with all of the seductive allure one has come to expect from this bottling. It should be fascinating to follow for 15-20 years, although it-s irresistible young. David Schildknecht | |||||
2008 Hexamer Schlossbockelheimer In Den Felsen Trocken (750ml)
List Price:

$30.60

| Terry Thiese | |||||
| Hexamer is emblematic of the best of cutting edge thinking among quality-minded vintners. He's a vineyardist first, only thereafter a cellarmaster. I can only attempt to optimize in the cellar what I pull from the vineyard; the quality of the grapes is decisive. He often harvests riper grapes from another site (Marbach) but the wines of Rheingrafenberg are more filigree and betterstructured. He handles as little as possible. Doesn't deacidify, doesn't use dosage. The grapes are picked exclusively by hand and fermented very cold (below 12 degrees celsius) with cooling when necessary (but we often pick so late we bring naturally cold fruit below 10 degrees back to the winery.) Yields are controlled by pruning. We often end up with only six to eight bunches per vine. Most of the wines are whole-cluster pressed; The most filigree wines come from this method. 95% of all Rieslings are made in stainless steel, and only racked three to six weeks after fermentation is complete. The wines are bottled early to preserve their vigor Don't be mad if it ends up being Spätlese, because on March 9th when I was there Harald hadn't made up his mind. Nor should he have to be wrenched into our need to know now. The wine itself was unfinished but it was certainly the juiciest and most exotic of the 08 Trocken series. | |||||
2008 Reuscher-Haart Piesporter Goldtropfchen Kabinett (750ml-6pk)
List Price:
|
$147.60
|
||||
| Terry Thiese | |||||
| Something seems to be up at Reuscher Haart...the past two vintages reminded me of the majestic 1990s and brilliant 1993s. At their best one can see why their wines are held in such renown. Schwang's wines can have impressive, almost majestic corpulence without being fat, plus a positive depth and stuffing from the lees. When that happens the Piesport fruit shows its raison d'être; an almost lurid court bouillon of bewitching fragrances and flavors; patchouli, passion fruit, bergamot, mango. And all in a voodoo voluptuousness that's the wine equivalent of an erotic trance. Much as I liked the 07s here...2008 is the kind of year that's very kind to Piesport; it adds form and core to the wines, which can sometimes seem to sprawl. In this case, it's apple that's prominent, not the voodoo-fruit,though a tangerine note is present. There's lots of juicy yet solid substance and an almost peppery note on the slatey finish. | |||||
| Wine & Spirits 91 | |||||
| This is zesty without being bracing, the nectarine, pear and lime flavors harmoniously intertwined with the supporting acidity and persistent minerality. It finishes cool and clean. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 90 | |||||
| A little austere now and unyielding, with the racy structure dominating the flavors of black currant, peppery greens and grapefruit, followed by a tight, bracing finish. Needs time. Best from 2012 through 2021. | |||||
2008 Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese 10 (750ml)
List Price:
|
$36.00
|
||||
| Terry Thiese | |||||
| For many tasters, these are the Ne Plus Ultra of Mosel wine, and they have attracted an almost religious following...It is hard to put a finger on exactly what it is that makes these wines so precious. There is a candor about them that is quite disarming. They are polished too, but not brashly so. They are careful to delineate their vineyard characteristics, and they offer fruit of sublime purity. They are utterly soaring in flavor yet not without weight. What many of you seem to have warmed to is their clarity, precision and beauty of fruit, so maybe I'll leave it at that! What a fragrance! It comes with a lemony coolness and broadens into an amazingly flowery mid-palate that broadens even more into a sensationally ripe moonglowpear finish with salty rivulets of terroir; a deliberate yet dramatic crescendo. | |||||
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92 | |||||
| "Effusive aroma of black cherries, passion fruit and lemon oil. In the mouth, a hint of nutmeg enlivens flavors of vanilla custard studded with tropical fruits. Boasts a luscious texture, but this excellent spatlese's pure, salty minerality gives it a long and dynamic finish." Joel B. Payne. Note: review is for Number 5 | |||||
| Wine Spectator 90 | |||||
| Pungent, almost grassy, with herbal aromas offset by apple and nectarine flavors. This is open-knit and supported by a racy structure, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Best from 2011 through 2022. | |||||
2008 vonOthegraven Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Kabinett (750ml)
List Price:
|
$27.00
|
||||
| FineWine International 100 | |||||
| The most incredible expression of German Riesling we have tasted in over 30 years. This wine has it all: incredible aromatics, a cornucopia of floral and exotic fruit scents, and a galaxy of minerals. On the palate a whisp of sweetness, pinpoint acidity, perfect balance, and a finish that went on forever. In one word: a perfect wine. | |||||
| Terry Thiese | |||||
| "..the Kanzemer Altenberg on ure Devonian slate with rusty flectks from weathered inron oxide, making themost primordially concentrated wines, almost meaty, with such depth as to be almost inscrutable when young, as if they have so much to say they can only stutter. I adore wines like these... Yes, the first time I ever "gave" three plusses to a Kabinett, and that's not the story, it doesn't matter what I orn anyone else "gives" a wine. What matters is the things this does does that no other wine does. But getting to it; it smells good! Complex, serene, with the kind of thick lovely melancholy of Saar wnes; expressive quince and balsam; silvery and clear; the palate, if anything, overtakes the aromas..have I ever tated a better Kabinett? What length, mineral, haunting fruit. A sublime masterpiece. Everything there is to cherish about Riesling shown to us here. | |||||
| Wine & Spirits 92 | |||||
| With its delicate, slate-drenched aromas and quite restraint, this is classic Kabinett, a throwback to the days before global warming and deliverately elevated must-weights. It's crystalline, precise and virtually weightless-those who long for the true Kabinett od will be thrilled with this. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 93 | |||||
| Delivers a fragrant nose of rose, violet and peony, with black currant and apple flavors, all displayed on a slim, vibrant frame. Intense and long, in an effortless way. Best from 2012 through 2022. | |||||

| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92 | |||||
| 'Pale golden yellow. Rich aromas of m ango, clover and lemon oil. Sleek and refined on the palate, with a juicy, mouthwatering freshness to the flavors of nectarine and peach. The graceful, harmonious, long finish features tropical fruit, almond and slate." Joel B. Payne | |||||
2009 vonOthegraven Wiltinger Kupp Kabinett (750ml)
List Price:
|
$25.20
|
||||
| Terry Thiese | |||||
| "Dee-lish! High toned fruit, lychee, plum, ripe quince, all atop a meringue of slate; green aloe-vera notes in the middle; has a kind of manic stillness-the sense of tremendous acitivity inside an apparent repose, the sort of tantric-breaking, deliverate, in-the-moment abosrption. The empty glass smells miraculous. | |||||
