  I am not certain how to describe a wine such as this Eiswein. It's one of the most integrated wines I have had in years. Only a slight bit of prickly acidity that catches in the back of the throat betrays this as Eiswein rather than an utterly majestic auction-level Auslese. I could list all the fruit and spice flavors, but it's more relevant to try to convey how the wine feels; the richness and viscosity caress the palate, leading to an incalculably long finish. I am not sure if any of this conveys the true experience of the wine, but it's how it felt at the time.

  Letting the bottles rest having received them clearly helped. Two fabulous bottles which were wotn for many. Could drink it like water!

  Nose of orgeat and lychees. Very strong acidic backbone in the mouth, wonderfully approachable already yet offers strong aging potential. Half bottle.
