"The 2011 Himmelreich SpÀtlese AP #12 is another excellent expression of this magical terroir. The bouquet is a very refined and youthful blend of pear, tangerine, slate, a touch of petrol, orange blossoms and an esthery topnote of bee pollen. On the palate the wine is medium-full, bright and nascently complex, with lovely focus and core, a suave attack and absolutely superb backend cut and vibrancy on the perfectly balanced and very, very long and snappy finish. A wonderful young wine."
