Estimate
The ripe fruit of local orchards growing along the banks of a crystal-clear stream flowing over rocks and stones in the pure air of a cool Indian summer morning... Let’s just say: purity, minerality, vibrancy, complexity.
...cool and smoky on the nose--very clear and aristocratic, like always--with lemon and fine stony flavors, but also hints of pineapple, herbs and flint stones. What purity, depth and finesse there is here! On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich, intense and elegant Riesling...
...buddleia, violets and thyme; white peach, mirabelle and red currant, with intimations of the fruit pit piquancy and crushed stone anticipating the glowing sharpness and interaction of fruit and stone that ensue on a silken palate. The superbly-sustained finish displays striking transparency to undulating, interactive layers of floral, coolingly green herbal, fruity and crystalline mineral elements.
