I think so.
If it makes you feel better, I bought these as part of an auction lot (a mixed ZH case) about 3 years ago. Of these two, the “lower” Herrenweg Turkheim VV was the better (half-)bottle—quite wonderful and vibrant.

Fellow 76er!
Thinking back to what I was drinking at the time, it was also low tariff stuff, but a different quality…

Which of his wines do you reccomend?
It is so hard as there are so many of them. The Rosengartchen is very special and the Hofberger Reserve. And try a couple of the Pinots.

Oh, um, I could also answer that question, as i’ve tasted them all a month ago and broke the internet with how long the 2023 offer is…
it is out now.
too many highlights to mention in short hand.
those pesky details.
The well-known german wine magazin Meininger Sommelier had the headline regarding 2023 „greatness through balance“

„And I admire the balance or harmony of 2023“
Anybody try this?
Want to save them both for group tastings, but the curiosity is killing me. Pretty sure I can’t quote MFW here, so you can read the review here: 2016 Später-Veit Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett trocken Grand Reserve, Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer - CellarTracker

Some mighty fine Riesling, I reckon. Enveloping attack with hypomanic orange, lemon, shredded pineapple, and mango notes which are violently washed away with a wave of salty, stony, smoky mineral. Comes across as dry, almost bracing, but with a silky richness which makes wonder about the residual sugar content. Long, green tea inflected finish. I still have another, and as the kids like to say, “Dude, I am so stoked!”
I have a little under a case of this wine, from the 2014 vintage, coming in the fall. (Thank you Fass Selections). I will soon learn just how much regret Is on the horizon, having drunk two cases of his dry wines young.
