Riesling must be the only varietal where many of the entry level bottles can improve with some age (mostly speaking of German and Austrian) while also decreasing in price. Delicious and complex with eight years of age, displaying everything to be expected: white flowers, honey, petrol, wet rocks. The sweetness has perfectly integrated at this stage. $7! — 4 years ago
I mean, this is singing like really good PC Burgundy. So many layers. — 5 years ago
Crisp, fresh & tart on the nose with fresh cut hay, herby notes, (under)ripe lemons and a cold, steely very Rheingau core underneath.
On the palate this a fuller, riper mouthfeel, with a hint of creaminess and ripe fruit. Lemon curd, lemon sorbet, a hint of underripe mango, some white peach. A nice juicy, if not overly long, finish.
Nice drinking and has enough weight & structure but not the depth or precision you’d expect from GG level.
Edit: Day 2 with half a bottle left from yesterday. A nice waxy, lanolin character evolved. Seems more serious and complete. 0.1pts up — 3 years ago

This wine brought us back to sitting in the lounge of the Schloss in Lieser Germany, along the Mosel, where we first tasted this it. Just like then, we couldn’t put our glass down. Who would have thought that this region known for their rieslings, would have such a robust Pinot noir. This 2018 Pinot noir was incredible - great body, and finish. — 4 years ago
Another pleasant surprise! I did not place this in Rheingau as it wasn't the warmest of the lot. That said the group did identify this correctly, but in my defense, Prinz isn't really traditional Rheingau according to them. Another producer to look out for.
Peach, kiwi, white flowers, minerals, and lees on the nose. Quite fruity on the palate, even a touch sugary, but balanced by herbaceous and fantastic minerality. There's a real balance and finesse that blew me away, especially when the region was revealed. I've had Prinz before, but the producer never really stood - I guess they really nailed 2017! — 6 years ago
