Enlivened by a touch of spritz; stone fruit, peach and apricot notes come through strongly on the palate; like the Spatlese, demands time. James Halliday
Pungent aromas of slate and flowers give way to peach and lime in this unevolved Riesling. The texture is supersilky, with great harmony among all the elements. Terrific length. Needs time. Best from 2014 through 2040. 94 points Wine Spectator
Pale golden yellow. Classy bouquet of ripe apple, vanilla and sweet herbs. Rich on the palate, with a salty, resinous character and undeniably sweet apricot fruit. Unctuous yet vibrantly spicy, with a long, complex finish. This still needs time but will be a great auslese. 95 Points, Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2009
