"The 1992 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Beerenauslese offers a light golden color, and a huge, honeyed, cherry and tropical fruit-scented nose. It is a lavishly rich, superbly well-balanced wine with crisp acidity and an exuberant, vibrant personality. This is one of the most compelling sweet wines of the vintage; it will last for several decades. Christoffel's Mosel estate has turned in one of the strongest performances of any proprietor in the 1992 vintage. The wines stood out for their richness, intensely-perfumed personalities, and gloriously long, ripe, well-balanced finishes. This is a producer to seek out in the 1992 vintage."
