"Discreet aromas of musky peach and minerals, plus a light smoky, flinty quality. Then supersweet and rich, in a more massive style than the Sommerberg. With hints of sur maturité and grilled fruit, and an impression of lower acidity than the Sommerberg, this conveys a more pliant texture. And yet it shut down quickly in the glass and was ultimately harder to taste. This powerful and very backward wine should be long-lived . . ." Vinous, Nov 2008 |
