Tasting Notes
| Terry Thiese | |
| For many tasters, these are the Ne Plus Ultra of Mosel wine, and they have attracted an almost religious following...It is hard to put a finger on exactly what it is that makes these wines so precious. There is a candor about them that is quite disarming. They are polished too, but not brashly so. They are careful to delineate their vineyard characteristics, and they offer fruit of sublime purity. They are utterly soaring in flavor yet not without weight. What many of you seem to have warmed to is their clarity, precision and beauty of fruit, so maybe I'll leave it at that! What a fragrance! It comes with a lemony coolness and broadens into an amazingly flowery mid-palate that broadens even more into a sensationally ripe moonglowpear finish with salty rivulets of terroir; a deliberate yet dramatic crescendo. | |
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92 | |
| "Effusive aroma of black cherries, passion fruit and lemon oil. In the mouth, a hint of nutmeg enlivens flavors of vanilla custard studded with tropical fruits. Boasts a luscious texture, but this excellent spatlese's pure, salty minerality gives it a long and dynamic finish." Joel B. Payne. Note: review is for Number 5 | |
| Wine Spectator 90 | |
| Pungent, almost grassy, with herbal aromas offset by apple and nectarine flavors. This is open-knit and supported by a racy structure, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Best from 2011 through 2022. |
