Dhron Hofberger Riesling Reserve 2023

9.7

Insane concentration for a Mosel wine. Has all the slate minerality, complex white and yellow florals, tropical fruit ie guava pineapple; has the signature Steinmetz searing acidity (in a good way) but with a density similar to a Pflaz GG. Spectacular. This is a top wine. @Lyle Fass — 2 days ago

Brauneberger Juffer Kabinett Riesling 2023

9.6

Thicker than 2021, but just as lifted. A Kabinett of light and air, with enough density to carry you. The acidity was joy itself. The mouthfeel was silk in motion. There's something about the 2023s, they have more breadth, more echo. Like the 21s got stretched sideways in all the right ways.
I didn't take notes. I just sat there. And felt better after a brutal day. Because sometimes, at the end of a brutal day, all you need is a Steinmetz Kabinett to remind you that life still has sweetness.

Haven’t had in 1.5 years and wow. Stunner. Nose is slate, lime zest and a hint of confectionery aromas. Gorgeous purity. Palate is just stunning. Juicy and lean with loads of tasty slate and lime flesh. So zesty and pure. Amazing texture and balance. — 2 days ago

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett Riesling 2023

Steinmetz has to be the best value classically styled mosel Riesling out there. I love the kabinetts in particular and the sonnenuher may be my favorite of all. — 5 months ago

I’d rank WS in the middle of the pack. Treppchen, Rosengartchen (only made once) rGoldtropfchen, Juffer, Geierslay I think are better as his slice of WS is on the flatter side. It’s great wine and very old school (read: not overripe) but I find the others have more drama and flair.

I do like all of them - but the WS has sentimental value after walking the site.

Dhroner Grosser Hengelberg Monopollage Riesling 2023

I didn’t take any notes on this one, but it stood out for its full throttle intensity, married to supreme elegance, with a textured mouthfeel. Long, resonant finish. First try with this bottling, and I would have purchased two additional cases had I known how brilliant it is. Will back up the truck next year. Hard to believe how open this is at this age, and I don’t know how I will be able to hold on to these for the long haul. — 2 months ago
