RATINGS

91The Wine Advocate

Full-flavored and intense on the palate, this is a lovely, light-hearted, piquant and racy Riesling with intensity and persistency.

91Vinous / IWC

Persian melon, apple and lime inform the ripe nose and succulent, silken palate of this buoyant, lithe, consummately refreshing bottling...fruit is certainly nicely set-off by underlying wet stone in the delightful, long-lasting finish.

91.4CellarTracker

17.5Jancis Robinson

Aromatic minerals on the nose. Very rich palate entry – as though it were in the higher reaches of Kabinett ripeness.
