96VM
"Rich golden yellow. Exotic fruits, truffle and brown spices drown in the clean, clear, honeyed botrytis. The rich, dense, jammy apricot fruit is glazed with honey, yet remains crisp and ethereal in spite of the wine's extraordinary creamy richness. The fine underlying minerality is almost imperceptible today owing to the unctuous texture, but provides drive on the penetrating and extremely long finish. One of the most stunning wines of the vintage in the Pfalz."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
