91 Points | International Wine Cellar , September 2012

(11.5 g/ residual sugar; 5.9 total acidity):  Bright gold-tinged straw.  Complex, deep aromas of ripe pear, citrus fruit, honey and minerals.  Rich, dense and suave, showing noteworthy depth and precision to its rich fruit flavors, with moderate residual sugar giving it a soft, rich mouthfeel.  This is a rather opulent wine by Ostertag's standards and it's outstanding, even though André would have liked to have less residual sugar.  "I was looking to get this down to 8 grams but it just wouldn't go on its own, even though it fermented for 24 months on its lees."
