Wine Advocate (94)The 2016 Vintage Port is a field blend originally seen about a week before bottling. It comes in with 104 grams of residual sugar. Not a lot has changed except that it seems even more approachable and much better balanced now. It also seems drier than its statistics would suggest. Tight and intense on first taste, this comes around relatively well with a couple of hours of air on the first day tasted, but it isn't expressive until a couple of days later. The initial firmness moderates to some extent, showcasing a relatively approachable young Port. (That doesn't mean it is ready or close to it.) The concentration seems good enough now, so that the hints of alcohol that I saw in June—and again this time around when this was in its first 90 minutes of aeration—seem under much better control. The balance is just more appealing. It shows beautifully with a couple of days of air. As with all Ports of any quality, this could use some time. This is gripping, but it won't sear your mouth with tannins. You are going to have to cellar it awhile to allow it to acquire more complexity and more harmony, though. This is showing more promise than ever. |

Finishes with building, slightly austere tannins and very good length. (Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY) |

Wine Advocate (98)Picked at 105° Oechsle, the 2020 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese (Gold Capsule) is the negative selection of the TBA. The wine opens with very clear, precise, amazingly nuanced, pure and delicate yet also intense fruit intertwined with layers of slate and minerals. Very pure and immediately salty and salivating on the palate, with vibrantly fresh but fine acidity and perfectly ripe and refined fruit, this is a fabulous, intense, concentrated and anything but fat or generous Auslese. It is rather serious and discreet but bears a lot of energy and huge aging capacity due to its vibrant acidity, sustainable salinity, remarkable grip and finesse. A fabulous wine and one of the radiant highlights of the 2020 portfolio from Christian Hermann, who has established himself as one of the greatest sweet Riesling producers in the Mosel in recent years. 7% stated alcohol, 105 grams per liter of residual sugar (total acidity: 8.3 grams per liter). Natural cork. 2000 bottles made. Tasted from AP 13 21 in November 2021. |

On the palate, this is a finessed, beautifully round and lush yet filigreed Spätlese with sensual, silky-textured fruit and a long, complex, well-structured and salty-piquant finish. A gorgeous classic from the Scharzhofberg. Tasted from AP #6 in June 2019. |

Vinous (92)Restrained on the nose, hinting at rich mango and peach, along with subtle tobacco and white pepper. Despite its warmth, muscle and opulence, the overripe apricot extract remains agile owing to the wine's finely chiseled structure.

Wine Advocate (92)Crushed stone, sage, green tea, as well as black tea smokiness envelop the fresh apple, cherry and lime aromas of a Prum 2011 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett, but fruit comes to the fore on an infectiously juicy, buoyant, and satin-textured palate, with smoky, herbal, alkaline and crushed stone elements setting-up a positively shimmering sense of dynamic interactivity that persists into a bracing and succulently-sustained finish. The residual sugar here is impeccably-integrated, as was the case with the corresponding generic Kabinett (and in fact, at just over 30 grams, it’s analytically only a tad higher), and even at 9.5% alcohol this positively dances across your tongue. Look to be charmed for at least the better part of two decades by this excellent value. |

Wine Advocate (92)A stunning offering, this is the finest port yet tasted from Gould Campbell. Its saturated purple color is accompanied by aromas of chocolate, blackberry liqueur, smoke, and white flowers. Packed and stacked, with moderate sweetness, high tannin, and a formidable, backstrapping intensity, this impeccably made, rich 2000 will drink well between 2010-2030. A sleeper! |

Wine Advocate (87)Coffee, black fruits, and graphite can be detected in the almost Pauillac-like nose of the dark purple-colored 2003 Gould Campbell Vintage Port. On the palate, this forward medium to full-bodied wine displays chocolate, tar, blackberry, molasses, and plum flavors in a slightly raw yet harmonious format. It has excellent depth, a friendly (if simple) nature, and will be approachable earlier than most top-echelon vintage ports. Projected maturity: 2010-2025. No known American importer. |

Wine Advocate (92)Crushed stone, sage, green tea, as well as black tea smokiness envelop the fresh apple, cherry and lime aromas of a Prum 2011 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett, but fruit comes to the fore on an infectiously juicy, buoyant, and satin-textured palate, with smoky, herbal, alkaline and crushed stone elements setting-up a positively shimmering sense of dynamic interactivity that persists into a bracing and succulently-sustained finish. The residual sugar here is impeccably-integrated, as was the case with the corresponding generic Kabinett (and in fact, at just over 30 grams, it’s analytically only a tad higher), and even at 9.5% alcohol this positively dances across your tongue. Look to be charmed for at least the better part of two decades by this excellent value. |

Vinous (92)Fresh cherry and lime garlanded in lily and laced with basil, mint and wintergreen inform a perfumed nose and a lusciously juicy, polished, buoyant, coolingly herbal palate. Freshness and vivacity are the watchwords for a refreshingly lingering, multifaceted finish underlain by wet stone and supportively but only subtly kissed with sweetness. Given 9 percent alcohol, one can be sure that the residual sugar is at a modest levels, yet there is all of the levity one could wish for from a Kabinett. |
