Community Tasting Note

  • alanr wrote: 93 points

    October 31, 2014 - A beautifully subtle nose of stone fruit and yellow flowers, this is so refined, flavorful, nothing out of place, with slightly reserved fruit intensity, excellent acidity, hints of minerality, a more high-toned Riesling than the Steinertal or Loibenberg, with notes of pineapple and lime, but equally enjoyable. Drinks wonderfully now, but will be even better in a decade.
