As I have often written, the closed style of wine made here is often difficult to judge in its youth. Vintage 2005 is richer but does not appear to have the mineral drive of 2004. The one exception is the stunning Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Gewurztraminer Kabinett, which I rated 90 points. Surprisingly, the sweeter wines were not as successful as I had expected. (Terry Theise Estate Selections; imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY) Also recommended: 2005 Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker Riesling Kabinett Trocken (85), 2005 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Kabinett Trocken (86), 2005 Deidesheimer Grainhubel Riesling Spatlese Trocken (87), 2005 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Spatlese Trocken (88), 2005 Deidesheimer Langenmorgen Riesling Spatlese Trocken Grosses Gewachs (87), 2005 Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Gewurztraminer Kabinett Trocken (90), 2005 Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken (87), 2005 Deidesheimer Maushohle Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken (86), 2005 Deidesheimer Kalkofen Riesling Spatlese (87), 2005 Deidesheimer Grainhubel Riesling Auslese (87).
