92 Points | International Wine Cellar , September 2012
Bright golden yellow. Very intense, exotic aromas of banana caramel, canned peach, crystallized ginger and apricot nectar. Then rich, sweet and dense on the palate, with honeyed, peppery tropical fruit flavors dominating. This is slightly sweeter and lower in acidity than the Hengst, which seems the fresher of the two wines to me. But both are beautiful expressions of the grape variety and their respective terroirs. Made from a younger set of vines, now 17 years old.
