Assembled just a few days before my tasting in July, the barrel sample of 2021 Marienburg GG shows clear, bright and fresh, just-ripe fruit (white peach) combined with a spicy slate tone. In the mouth, it's delicate, light and elegant yet juicy. This is a light, bright type of Marienburg. Classic, very delicate style. – (oogst 2021), Stephan Reinhardt, augustus 2022

A standout 2021 Mosel GG! Stunning nose of peach and wild herbs with a touch of leesy youthfulness. Excellent concentration and a gracefulness that is rare with this vintage. So focused and finely nuanced, the fruit and wet stone minerality ripple over the palate. I love the delicate citrusy notes at the long, vibrant finish.– (oogst 2021), december 2022

The 2018 Marienburg Rothenpfad Reserve is clear and finely flinty on the pure and iodine nose that shows notes of crushed red slate, lemon and orange zests as well as white cacao. Full-bodied, intense and concentrated on the palate, this is a very dense and powerful wine that is still far too young to show finesse and terroir. The vintage is still dominating here, but the Rothenpfad is starting to penetrate this long and complex, saline and tannic Riesling. – Stephan Reinhardt, augustus 2022

Bottled in November, the 2019 Marienburg Fahrlay Reserve is clear, intense and purely slatey on the iodine and lemon-scented, crunchy nose. Lush and generous yet refined and saline on the palate, this is a crystalline, refined and elegant, pure, saline and juicy Riesling with generous, very intense and sustainable fruit. A spectacularly good wine.– (oogst 2019), Stephan Reinhardt, augustus 2022

Based on fully ripe and healthy, golden-yellow grapes without any botrytis, the 2021 Marienburg Spätlese Goldkapsel is clear and spicy on the pure and crystalline, slate-driven nose that shows some notes of gooseberries but also honey. Lush and round on the palate and with rather mild acidity for this vintage, this is a densely textured, seemingly smooth and saline Spätlese made to be aged for decades. A picture-book Spätlese. – (oogst 2021),  Stephan Reinhardt, augustus 2022

A very seductive fragrance hosts delightfully sweet floral aromas, even a hint of butterscotch. Very rich and juicy on the palate, sweet and sour fruit even includes notes of mango and papaya, also a rich salty tang. The sweet-sour-salty combination is quite fascinating and served on a rich texture. – Michael Schmidt, september 2021

The 2020 Deidesheimer Kieselberg GG opens dense and yeasty on the nose, with fine sandstone spice and fresh citrus notes and a slight iodine tone. It is juicy, intense and dense in the mouth, with fine tannins and tremendous salty acidity as well as powerful vitality and great length. This is a superb Kieselberg. – (oogst 2020), Stephan Reinhardt, december 2022

On the nose Von Buhl’s Ungeheuer woos the olfactory receptacles with the ripe aromatics of yellow fruit. A hint of almond sets a nutty accent. On the palate the juicy fruit of apple and peach meets up with notes of zesty citrus to create a truly animating taste experience. – (oogst 2020), Michael Schmidt, september 2021

Der Duft ist fruchtgetragen, gelbe Frucht, Mirabelle, Mispel, etwas Holz. Im Mund wirkt der Wein muskulös und stoffig, die Phenole haben eine gewisse Sprödigkeit, die Säure ist fest, der Wein zielt auf die Mächtigkeit ab, mit merklich werdendem Alkohol. – (oogst 2020), Ulrich Sautter, november 2022

The 2020 Forster Pechstein GG shows dense, yeasty fruit with vegetal and mineral notes but also a first hint of maturity. Enormously juicy yet also compact and firm on the palate, this Pechstein is delicate but also dense and substantial, even quite stout, which is currently still at the expense of transparency and finesse. Salty aftertaste. Needs time. – (oogst 2020), Stephan Reinhardt, december 2022

Buhl's 2020 Forster Kirchenstück GG is deep, elegant and concentrated on the nose, with ripe, intense and fleshy fruit and smoky notes. In the mouth, it is elegant, vital and persistently salty, appropriately inaccessible, but undoubtedly a great, exciting Riesling from a warm vintage. This is a church piece, in fact: very salty and fresh, very long and firm. – (oogst 2020), Stephan Reinhardt, december 2022
