Reviews

“I love the ripe mirabelle and quince, but there’s also a ton of ginger in here. Super elegant entry and mid-palate, then comes a breathtaking, mineral fireworks display at the crescendo finish.” James Suckling ▄ “Suggestions of Jasmine tea, aromatic rice, nori seaweed. Revealing its full charms, this Riesling is awash in veiled suggestions, 3D-animation playing on a slate widescreen. Pure erotic" FAS, Gebr.Lange ▄ "Closed, cool, smoky aromas of citrus and peach laced with a fresh herbality. Initial creamy fruit flavors mingle with an elegant acidity, and a savory, spicy minerality that lingers on the palate, accents of dark chocolate, good structure and depth, and an exceptionally long finish." wein-plus ▄ "Savory aromas and a juicy palate with the raciness of a greyhound. And, of course, just a touch of dragon fire. ” Stuart Pigott ▄ “A mineral fist clenched in velvet, and yet impossible to put down.” FAZ
