A private lunch (Restaurant Hofgarten, Dernau, Germany): Not nearly as voluptuous or opulent as the Kräuterberg, but the kinship is immediately evident. The minerality is slightly more pronounced, it is more floral too and matbe just a little more precise? The balance is impeccable, the wine is rich yet very elegant, supple yet structured, complete and detailed, more silk than satin. The fruit flavours are very pure but it does not have the grandstanding character of the Kräuterberg - it is more intellectual perhaps, not as inviting but more engaging? A fascinating comparison. The score is the same.
