Mosel Fine Wines
(7/2017) "This offers a gorgeous nose of slightly yellow fruits, ginger and earthy spices. The wine proves quite lively and nicely focused on the palate, with zesty acidity driving the aromatic profile. The wine is nicely elegant and well balanced in the focused and yellow peach infused finish. This is a gorgeous Spätlese in the making. 2026-2041"

Peter Lauer "Fass 2 - Ayler" Trocken Saar Riesling 2017
88
Vinous, David Schildknecht

John Gilman
(4/2019) "The 2017 vintage of Fass 2 comes in at 12.5 percent octane and is quite dry, as mentioned above, at just over one gram of sugar. The wine is youthful, but shows lovely promise, with the nose wafting from the glass in a mix of pink grapefruit, orange peel, plenty of smokiness, a fine base of slate, wild yeasts and a nice hint of Saar herb tones in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, racy and nascently complex, with great focus, cut and grip and a long, poised and perfectly balanced finish. This will need a year or two longer in the cellar to start to stir than the 2018 version, but it too is going to be an excellent bargain. Drink between 2023-2055."

Peter Lauer "Senior" Riesling 2020
92
Mosel Fine Wines
(7/2021) "The 2020er Ayler Riesling "Senior" No.6 is a barely off-dry wine (with 13 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit harvested from the original Kupp hill on a west-facing section towards Wawern. It offers a beautifully reductive and refreshing nose of grapefruit zest, herbs, cassis, lime, herbs, nettle, and smoke. The wine proves full of grip and energy on the superbly balanced palate and leaves a beautifully precise, spicy, and refreshing feel in the nicely dry-tasting finish. This dry-tasting Riesling proves a huge success and has more in common with a Grand Cru that its nominative ranking as Ortswein (Village)!" Drink: 2023-2035."

A.J. Adam "Im Pfarrgarten" Mosel Riesling Feinherb 2019
90
Wine Advocate
(10/30/2020) "The 2019 Riesling Feinherb im Pfarrgarten is from a former orchard with deep gardening soils that always have enough water and whose 50-year-old vines bring stunning Rieslings, especially in warm and dry years. The 2019 opens with an intense and piquant nose of perfectly ripe fruits intertwined with some spicy notes. Round, fresh and finessed on the palate, this is a mouthwatering, piquant and salty Riesling for immediate consumption. A fabulous wine at 10.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink Date: 2020 - 2028."

Schloss Lieser "SL" Riesling Kabinett 2017
91
John Gilman
(5/2018) "The 2017 Estate Riesling Kabinett "SL" bottling is also excellent and was a wonderful harbinger of the Kabinett magic that lay just ahead in our lineup. This wine is 8.5 percent alcohol and really quite filigreed for an entry level Kabinett, offering up a pretty and quite esthery bouquet of pear, white cherries, bee pollen, spring flowers, lime zest and a lovely base of salty minerality. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, crisp and quite delicate in style, with lovely intensity of flavor, crisp acids and fine closing notes of minerality on the long and complex finish. This is an excellent wine by any measure. (Drink between 2018-2040)."

St.Urbans-Hof "Wiltinger" Mosel Riesling Kabinett 2017
92
Wine Spectator
(2/28/2019) "Focused and sleek, with a rustic profile due to its prominent, zesty, grapefruit-like acidity, but flavors of nectarine, chamomile and baking spice give this charm. The bright structure is well-defined on the savory finish. Pretty now, but the acidity will integrate and reward patience. Best from 2020 through 2026. 475 cases made."

Hild Elbling Sekt Brut NV
90
Our Score
(5/2021) There are a few routes we could take in introducing this wine to you. We could mention that Elbling is one of the oldest and mysterious varietals in all of Europe, its origins still argued over. Or, we could wax poetic about winemaker Mattias Hild's unbelievable desire to save all the small parcels of Elbling grown in Obermosel. The thing that really struck us when we first tasted these bubbles, though, was the simplicity and honesty it portrays. Lightish-bodied, limestone, chalky goodness in a bottle. Refreshing and a joy to drink, we like to think it means the same here in Chicago as it does in Germany. A great bottle to pop with some friends.

Hild Elbling Trocken 2020
91
Our Score
(6/2021) Drinking Elbling is like drinking the uncompromising vigor and energy of the Mosel Region itself, yet seemingly different than everything it grows. This rare grape is grown in limestone-rich soils of the Obermosel, making a wine more akin to steely Chablis than the fruity Riesling made in the historic region it is perched over. Light-bodied, yet packed with intense citrus, chalk, and vibrant acidity that will keeps you coming back for more. A definite must-buy for the summer.
