This large, important winery has recently made a fresh new start, and this was the first vintage of the new regime. Former Bollinger chef du cave Matthieu Kauffmann is now in charge of winemaking. He arrived in 2013, in time to oversee this vintage, and the results are excellent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reichsrat von Buhl Riesling VDP Gutswein 2013 Pfalz, Germany<\/strong><br \/>\n12.5% alcohol. Very lively, bright and lemony with lovely purity and keen acidity. Hints of honey and lime. Bone dry. 88\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reichsrat von Buhl Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Trocken VDP Grosse Lage Riesling 2013 Pfalz, Germany<\/strong><br \/>\nVery lively nose with grapefruit, melons, nuts and honey. The palate is lively and detailed with lovely lemon, grapefruit and mineral notes, but also with some melon and pear richness. Beautiful, complex and brilliantly balanced. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reichsrat von Buhl Riesling Forster Musenhang Riesling Trocken VDP Erste Lage 2013 Pfalz, Germany<\/strong><br \/>\nLively, focused and very bright with a slight pithy edge to the lemony fruit. Linear and taut with high acidity. Needs time to broaden out and gain complexity. 91\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reichsrat von Buhl Forster Pechstein Riesling Trocken VDP Grosse Lage 2013 Pfalz, Germany<\/strong><br \/>\nIncredibly taut and complex with distinctive grapefruit, melon, tangerine and pith characters. There&#8217;s freshness and depth in tandem here, together with a subtly cabbagey edge that isn&#8217;t unattractive. A complex, multidimensional Riesling with a distinctive personality. Dry but generous, this should age brilliantly. 95\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reichsrat von Buhl Sp\u00e4tburgunder Suez Ros\u00e9 VDP Gutswein 2013 Pfalz, Germany<\/strong><br \/>\nPale orange\/pink colour. Fresh red cherry, apple and pear nose. The palate is delicate with lovely elegant citrus and red cherry fruit, with good acidity. Linear and quite serious. 90\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find these wines with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was really impressed by these 2013s from one of the leading Pflaz wineries, Reichstrat von Buhl.
