"The 2002 Riesling Eiswein Urziger Wurzgartenās jammy apricot-scented nose is more reminiscent of a tangy Beerenausleseās than an Eisweinās. It has spectacular focus, precision, and reveals loads of sweet, zesty limes, white pepper, apricot, and lemon flavors in its driven personality. This concentrated but not super-rich Eiswein should be drunk over the next 40 years. All of Weingut Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erbenās wines revealed relatively high levels of CO2 (a natural by-product of fermentation that disappears with time). Readers who find this trait unpleasant should wait 1-2 years before opening any of this estateās 2002s. "
