€ 39,00 INC. VATOverripe pear and lychee on the nose take on a syrupy impression on the polished, soft, subtly creamy and delicate palate. The finish accentuates the impressions of vanilla and liquid lily perfume that were already noted in this year’s "two-star" Hühnerberg Spätlese. And here, too, there is enough juiciness that the caressingly sustained, lush finish doesn’t become cloying. Müllen would certainly take issue with my assessment of ageworthiness, but while it’s going to take a long time for this wine’s superficial sweetness to back off, I am not convinced that the wait will pay significant dividends in complexity. Müllen is currently much enamored with the evolution of his vintage 2003 Spätlesen and Auslesen, with their softness of feel, prominent sweetness and confectionary, caramel-tinged character. Oenophiles who share his high opinion of those traits in Mosel Riesling may well feel rewarded by patient cellaring of a 2018 like this one. (Yet-riper sweet wines from the Hühnerberg – along with other nobly sweet wines from Müllen’s vintage 2018 collection – will be tasted in late 2020 and reviewed as part of a subsequent report.)

€ 39,00 INC. VATAdd to cartIts silky texture caresses the palate, the aromas of cherry, blackberry and roses linger. The coveted Pinot Noir creates a timely sensuous mood. The nose evokes ripe red and black fruits: sweet berry and cherry fruits are enveloped in the bright ruby red robe of this wine, following on to a palate full of ripe red cherries and spice, a merest hint of smoke and gentle but pleasant tannins that all mingle to produce a great and satisfying wine. -
€ 40,00 INC. VATAdd to cartHoneysuckle and heliotrope on the nose deliver site-typical allure. The palate feels surprisingly firm, though it exudes generously juicy apple. Piquancy of apple seed and the bitter aspect of vanilla bean serve for welcome counterpoint on a lusciously fruited finish admirably transparent to wet stone. I suspect that this installment of “Fuder #6” will grow in stature given a few years in bottle.

€ 42,00 INC. VATAdd to cartThis marries fruit from the uppermost of Müllen’s four terraces in Hühnerberg with fruit from below the terraced section (the same steep sector that yielded this year’s impressive “no star” Spätlese trocken). Pineapple, white peach and mint mingle on the nose with site-typical suggestions of woodsmoke. The silken palate is at once soothingly cooling and tinglingly invigorating, with sweetness supportively judged without trying to become a dominant player in its own right. Hints of quince and caramel point to advanced ripeness (with a trace of botrytis) and are gorgeously complemented by the wine’s textural richness and subtle sweetness on a lusciously lingering finish. The balance of richness with fresh fruit juiciness and the impeccable balance of sweetness are features I have generally missed in residually sweet Müllen bottlings of past vintages. (Whether or not this wine’s vineyard origins or the fact that it is the collection’s sole sweet Hühnerberg Spätlese account for its being labeled without stars, don’t let that mislead you – even if Müllen encourages this – to anticipate less than top quality.)

€ 43,00 INC. VAT Kröver Letterlay is a very typical Moselle layer with outstanding quality. The location is partly oriented to the south, partly to the southeast. The wines are characterised by great harmony and full-bodiedness. Usually the wines of the Letterlay are a bit more delicate in acidity than the wines from our other locations.Add to cart -
€ 45,00 INC. VATAdd to cartRipe pear and lime wreathed in buddleia and lily-of-the-valley make for an alluring nose and then lusciously inform a seductively creamy, delicate palate. Smoky black tea and incisive fresh ginger lend invigoration to a finish that sensationally extends the wine’s intense pure fruit, along with a liquefaction of its floral perfume. Why no stars? Apparently Müllen thought this wine was beyond all that. He was right.

€ 50,00 INC. VAT Not for the first time, Müllen views a "two-star" Hühnerberg Spätlese – this one issuing from two broad upper terraces and the site’s oldest vines (likely ones recorded as having been planted by Langguth in 1898) – as superior to the corresponding Hühnerberg Auslese trocken. (In fact, he’s asking nearly twice the price.) Sometimes the difference in Prädikat reflects a distinct difference in character, but in the present instance, Müllen had to bottle as “Auslese” a batch that slightly exceeded the legal limit for free SO2 in white wines of Prädikat Spätlese. As is also often the case, Müllen’s dry “two-star” Hühnerberg was the last wine of its vintage to get bottled. A fascinating nose offers chamomile, iris, ginseng and peach kernel, anticipating the subtly musky, piquant, hard-to-capture elements that join luscious flesh of white peach on a glossy and expansive palate. The influence of over 12,5% alcohol is felt in terms of body but fortunately not heat. The correspondingly complex finish features a decisive undertone of wet stone, and grips with remarkable persistence, its piquant elements well integrated. 93 pts Add to cart -
€ 53,00 INC. VAT Terminum Gewürztraminer is a precious composition of fragrances, harvested in the very first days of winter in one of those rare places where nature allows precious noble rot to develop, giving this wine its distinctive characterColor: strong golden yellowAroma's: intense notes of peach, apricot, lychee, mango, orange zest, honey, vanilla and liliesAdd to cartPalete: intensely aromatic: ripe yellow fruits and brown butter, spices. Noble notes of botrytis underline the uniqueness of this wine. Optimal balance of freshness and sweetness, fine minerality. Extremely long-lasting, balanced finish. -
€ 55,00 INC. VATAs usual, Molitor’s exclusively small-barrel-raised “three-star” Pinot Blanc introduces some overt notes of oak on the nose and slight stiffening and drying to this variety’s usual engaging combination of textural creaminess with refreshment. But it still harbors plenty of interest. Musky suggestions of narcissus mingle with scents of corn shoots, lime peel and bruised apple skin. Fuller than its two ostensibly lesser counterparts but by no means heavy, this offers a cooling midpalate suggestion of mint-laced apple and lime sorbet, leading to a lingering if slightly woody finish enhanced by saliva-inducing salinity.

€ 65,00 INC. VATThe 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is youthfully inward and darkly floral with an herbal tinge and hints of crushed ashen stone that give way to vivid black raspberry and exotic spice. This is juicy and spry, with racy cherry-berry fruit and stimulating acidity that creates a sensation of boundless energy, even as a saturation of primary concentration settles in toward the close. The 2019 finishes with incredible length and youthful tension, leaving balsamic spice, sage and licorice notes lingering over a bed of dusty tannins.

€ 70,00 INC. VATAdd to cartPale golden yellow with a greenish tinge. Rich, smoky aromas of yellow plum, quince and sweet herbs. Unctuous apricot fruit given shape by bright, salty minerality. Juicy, generous and crisp on the persistent finish. At once rich and vibrant, this is one of the finest off-dry rieslings.

€ 75,00 INC. VATAdd to cartGolden yellow. Rich bouquet of baked apple, vanilla custard and clove, with a complicating note of spicy botrytis. Creamy but refined tropical fruits are complemented by refreshing salts and toasted pine nuts. At once succulent and full, finishing with reverberating length but not quite the same degree of elegance as the finest auslese.

€ 90,00 INC. VATEven the fragrance seduces with fully ripe apricots, nectarine, melon and other exotic fruits. On the palate, the selection does not look too sweet. Here, too, ripe stone fruit, pineapple and a number of exotic aromas are shown. Typically Molitor, the selection shows a playful acidity, which is in an elegant harmony with the sweetness. With a powerful finish and a long aftertaste, it remains tasty for a long time.Add to cart -
€ 111,00 INC. VAT The 2021 Suduiraut emerges from a brutal vintage in which yields were just one hectoliter-per-hectare, which translates into 500 cases. A rich, exotic Sauternes, the 2021 possesses mind-blowing intensity. Tangerine oil, mint, pineapple, white flowers, caramel and light toast notes soar out of the glass. Even with all of its concentration, this maintains tremendous freshness and tension. What a wine.Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: December 2023 99 ptsAdd to cart© 2025 Vinous Media -
€ 114,00 INC. VATBlackberries, menthol, sage, stone dust and cloves define the youthfully restrained 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto. This flows across the palate with ease, silky with depths of ripe raspberry and sour cherry as fine-grained tannins saturate toward the close. It finishes spicy and long, structured yet lively while stimulating the imagination with its future potential. Hints of cocoa, lavender and current leaf linger, seeming to last for well over a minute. Color impressed me.

€ 145,00 INC. VATAdd to cartSignum Ætnæ is the predestined. The seal of the volcano, the favorite son of mountain viticulture, the precious gift of a vineyard that survived the fearsome phylloxera, witness to a thousand-year-old activity that has resisted time and intense eruptive activity, which has come to us thanks to the tireless work of hundreds of heroes, bearers of ancient knowledge and staunch defenders of a very rich anthropological and cultural heritage.
Color: Intense ruby with mahogany hues. Aromas: Complex, wild flowers, red fruits and noble spices. Palate: Concentrated, well balanced and elegant at the same time, velvety tannins, developing on the palate, long-lasting pleasure. -
€ 185,00 INC. VATAdd to cartDusted blackberries, sweet spice, cloves, rubbed sage, cedar box and smoke can all be found in the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino. Velvety, nearly creamy yet lively, it washes across the palate with a dense wave of mineral-tinged dark red fruits underscored by saline minerals, all held together by a core of brisk acidity. It finishes staining, long and concentrated with edgy tannins that will require patience to resolve fully. This is a glorious rendition of Vigna Schiena d'Asino.
