95 JG. ". . . happily, I had tasted the wine at a friend’s home in Germany during my spring trip, so I am pleased to have a note on a perfect bottle of this great wine to include in this article. The wine offers up a simply beautiful bouquet of cherries, blood orange, walnuts, sweet cigar wrapper, a superbly complex base of soil, brown spices and gentle smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and multi-dimensional, with layer upon layer of complex, a sappy core, great soil inflection, melting tannins and a long, very complex and tangy finish of stunning refinement and vibrancy. A brilliant wine." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, May/Jun 2014, Issue #51 |
