Wine Advocate (93)Showing much better is the 2006 “V” that demonstrates a little more opulence and fruit intensity on the nose with ripe blackberry, raspberry, sloe and cedar with good definition. The palate has firm chalky tannins and a good sense of tension, a citrus-like acidity towards the long poised finish. This has great potential, but again it deserves time in the cellar. Drink 2014-2022. |

Wine Mag (96)Whereas it’s the 2020 vintage of MR de Compostella and the 2019 of Kanonkop Paul Sauer that are currently on the market, Helderberg property Vergelegen is only now about to release the 2017 of its top-end red that is V. Happily, it’s extraordinarily good. Consisting of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot, the nose shows red and black berries, tea leaf, violets and a hint of reduction while the palate is marked by reined-in power – lovely fruit purity, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. It’s focused and tight with a finish that’s long and dry and should mature with benefit. |

Vinous (92)Golden yellow. Rich, smoky aromas of musk, papaya and clove, along with a dash of smoke and brown-spice botrytis. Succulent apricot fruit nicely counterbalanced by a salty minerality and marked by a nut oil note at the back of the palate. This is deeper and weightier than the normal auslese, but also more pure and precise, not to mention tantalizingly long and spicy on the finish. |

Vinous (93)This was picked near the end of October, “principally,” as von Schubert explained, “from shriveled [rosinierte] and to a lesser extent botrytis-affected berries. The dominance of desiccated berries made for high acidity as well as must weight. Right after this picking, we got another rain,” he added, “so it was good that we had finished up.” Persian melon and white peach inform a heady nose and a glossy, expansive, almost custard-rich palate. There is just enough primary juiciness to supply welcome refreshment, but for now at least, the elevated acidity isn’t evident. Hints of marzipan and licorice lend a confectionary cast to the lusciously lingering finish. |

Wine Advocate (94)The 2018 Maximin Grünhaus Abtsberg Kabinett shows a sulfurous bouquet with intense and flinty-scented yellow stone fruit aromas. Vibrantly fresh, light and filigreed yet with intensity and the generous and lush fruit expression of the vintage, this is a stimulating, vital, crunchy and mouthwatering Kabinett that is still very young and can go a long distance, if you are patient enough.

This is part of the Schlosskeller Reserve that the von Schubert family released last year to compensate for the dramatic losses to spring frost in 2024. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in January 2026. |
