2 stars Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2002

($39) Cooked strawberry with hints of black cherry and vanilla in the nose. On the palate, this has great delicacy and fine slate minerality which, along with the red fruits, enhance the impression of a Mosel midway in character between Urzig and Bernkastel. Luscious, seamless and long in the finish, with a very primary fructose character, honey and strawberry preserve flavors, but persistent and decisive minerality as well. Potential 2 stars.
