"Stacks of lemon blossom and white currant character make this classically sleek and elegant dry Mosel riesling attractive and exciting. The yellow grapefruit freshness on the sleek, compact, medium-bodied palate adds to the excitement. So much brilliance in the long, zesty finish. Drink or hold."

"Apricots! Almost apricot jam. Very different from the previous two wines. Incipient complexity, as well as all that lovely fruit. Rounded but extremely fresh on the finish. (JH)"

"The 2023 Riesling Lieserer Niederberg Helden Grosses Gewächs is exquisitely subtle on the nose, with a slightly smoky evocation of wet slate. The smooth palate is wonderfully stony, putting its slatiness deliciously ahead of fruit and is beautifully linear with ripe, straight-laced acidity. This totally clean-cut wine rings long with its slate savor."
