Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2004
Mosel-like apple blossom, cooling mint, and suggestions of brown spice enveloped in puff-pastry yeastiness. Another Ratzenberger 2002 with great delicacy and refinement of flavor, but what a lot of flavor! Juicy, pure fruit, florality and tingling slate and spice pour forth in the finish, without relying on any overt sweetness for their full effect. (This wine is lower in acidity, higher in residual sugar, and a tad softer in palate impression than the St. Jost Kabinett Halbtrocken, yet the sweetness is less in evidence and, today at least, the balance far superior. ) 2 stars.

I normally favor most any red over white wines, but this one could change my mind.

Hard mineral edge despite being a halbtrocken means great structure, which is what you expect from Ratzenberger. Does this winery ever produce less than a a great wine? I only give this 4 stars because I'm a nut for their Grosses Gewächs rieslings, and I have to score them higher than this bottle. If I could I'd give this bottle a five and the Grosses Gewächs wines a six.
