93pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 38 24. The 2023 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Alte Reben, as it is referred to on the consumer label (the GG and Trocken mentions are left for the back label) is a dry wine made fruit picked on very old un-grafted vines in the prime Urglück, Maxberg, and Layenhaus sectors, and was fermented with ambient yeasts and aged in oak for 12 months. This white-hay-colored wine offers a beautifully backward nose made of spices, herbs, and smoke. It is only on the palate that this dry wine reveals some of its complex flavors of pear, citrusy elements, and minerals. The finish is all about precision and backward spiciness at this stage. This wine will require some patience, but the wait will be worth it: It is a great dry Riesling in the making! 2028-2038." 93-95pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Spice garden on the nose, nettle, chervil, marjoram, floral notes, snowdrops, ripe lemons, peach, allspice. Taut on the palate, lively acidity with tension meets a supple base, pithy phenolics, fresh, still restrained fruit, lots of savouriness, good certain ageing potential.-Ulrich sautter"(11/2024)
