Valckenberg Worms Liebfrauenstift-Kirchenstück Spätlese
Vino Lock 2003
Wine Enthusiast 88 points "Starts off with honey, peach and grapefruit
aromas, and this creative tension between sweetly ripe flavors and tart acids
continues across the palate. Shows good concentration and density, and
finishes long and dry." — J.C. (12/15/2004)

Valckenberg Riesling Qba 2003

aromas and flavors on a round, generous profile. On the soft side, this is
tasty now and over the near term. Good length. Drink now through 2007.

Heyl, Baron von Heyl Riesling 2002
Wine Spectator 89 points "Loads of mineral, pineapple, passion fruit and
orange notes are packed into a slim, vibrant frame in this resonant '02
Riesling. Really tastes like the red slate. Drink now through 2006. 1,810 cases
made." (BS) Issue: Dec 15, 2003

Heyl Nierstein Riesling Kabinett 2003
Wine Enthusiast 86 points "Herrnsheim tends toward a drier style of wine
without labeling it as such, so this kabinett is crisp and almost dry-tasting.
Apple blossoms and limes on the nose are complemented by mineral hints of
diesel and a tart, steely finish." — J.C. (12/15/2004)

Grans Fassian Trittenheimer Riesling Kabinett 2003
Wine Spectator 90 points "Terrific kabinett. Fine aromas and flavors of lime,
vanilla pastry and minerals penetrate the creamy texture. It's all balanced by
vibrant acidity, ending in a long cascade of lime and stone. Drink now through
2010. 800 cases made. (BS)"

Grans Fassian Trittenheimer Apotheke Spätlese 1999
Wine Spectator 89 points "Haunting aromas of slate, apricot and citrus
introduce this laserlike '99. Has a lovely juicy texture and firm structure, yet it
fades a bit on the finish. May just need time. Drink now through 2005. 500
cases made. (BS)"

Basserman-Jordan Riesling Kabinett Deidesheimer
Paradiesgarten 2004
Wine Spectator 90 points "Lovely detail and elegance. Peach, apricot and
spice notes herald this firm, coiled white. It's fresh and pure, with a crunch to
its acidity and fine length. Drink now through 2015". 600 cases made. (BS)

Von Schubert Riesling Kabinett Maximin Grünhauser Abstberg
2004
Wine Spectator 88 points "Textbook Mosel kabinett. A distinctive Riesling,
racy and bursting with tangy lime and slate flavors on a sleek frame. Not that
intense or long, but really hangs together. Drink now through 2012." (BS)

Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Riesling Piesporter Goldtröpfchen
2004

with a white pepper accent adding complexity on the finish. Well-balanced,
this will work well with light dishes. Drink now through 2012." 1,900 cases
made. (BS)
