Expert Reviews

95-97 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2007

($90; for 375 ml.; tasted from barrel in a still-cloudy state; chardonnay and welschriesling) Medium golden yellow. Aromas of ripe yellow apple, dried fruits, discreet blossom honey, wild raspberry, subtle roasted oak and cinnamon spice. Orange, apricot, apple and chocolate flavors saturate the entire mouth, and strong minerality extends the finish. An elegant acid structure gives this wine sharp definition. Offers tremendous potential for further development. Drink from 2010 to 2030.
