Expert Reviews

95 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2007

($73; 14% alcohol) Pale green-yellow. The nose displays terroir-specific notes of greengage plum, flinty minerality and crushed black pepper over a subtle background of celery and lentils. Highly concentrated flavors of damson plum and juicy yellow peach are framed by perfectly integrated acidity. This harmonious wine finishes with a saline impression of extract and strong minerality. Should develop in bottle for a long time: drink from 2010 through 2025.

Furthermore, many wine drinkers' early experiences with sweet wines from Germany (think Blue Nun), have not been especially rewarding. We say that it's your loss if you continue to fear the...
