89 points The Wine Spectaor:This lush white exhibits a spicy aroma, following through to creamy flavors of ripe apple, peach and passion fruit. Hints of anise and citrus mark the finish. Drink now through 2016. 700 cases imported.

90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: Peach, mango and a hint of honey on the nose. The sweet, but austere peach flavor with its subtle spiciness is highlighted by the slate. Well-balanced, extremely elegant and nicely persistent.

87 points The Wine Advocate:Apple, lime, and pear in the nose of Weis's 7.5% alcohol 2009 Kaseler Nies’chen Riesling Kabinett emerge in a soothing, sorbet-like way on the palate. It finishes with admirable purity of fruit, but the sense of sweetness is a bit excessive for my taste – possibly one reason there is not a more complex interplay of flavors – and I would want to sock bottles away in the cellar for close to a decade until it backed off at least a little bit. I have little doubt this will keep will for 15 or more years. David Schildknecht

95 points The Wine Advocate:2005 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese A.P. #10 – originating, as usual with this A.P. #, in deeper soils with more fine particulate slate than the #6 – enters a realm where almost custardy, lush richness of texture coexists with fresh berry, pit fruit, and citrus juiciness – in this instance above all cassis, white peach and pink grapefruit – and clarion transparency. At the same time, an incredible lightness of touch to the palate and wafting delicacy set this wine up for a soaring finish of remarkable length and purity of fruit. Certainly botrytis was here, but it got away, leaving only the most subtle and noble of traces in the sheer extra measure of honeyed concentration to the fruit. Lemon cream, pink grapefruit, cassis, honey, and white peach preserve set the tone here from the nose to the finish. “To combine this richness and botrytis with elegance and finesse is the beauty of 2005,” remarks Oliver Haag, and it is hard to offer a better summation of this particular Auslese, one I would want to follow for another quarter century or more (if I thought I would hold up half as well as the wine!).  David Schildknecht

94 points The Wine Spectator:An aromatic version, showing lilac, freesia and violet notes, followed by baked apple, black currant and slate flavors. Elegant and tightly wound, with a racy structure well-fused to the rich texture. The appealing aftertaste features notes of candied berries and mineral. Drink now through 2032. 1,500 cases made.
