Score 89+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Complex aromas of lime, flowers, herbs and licorice. Dense but juicy; solid acids contribute to the impression of firm structure. Rather closed today, but Kientzler noted that in the early days this wine was more showy. Finishes with sneaky persistence. This and the Riesling Geisberg are carrying a modest four grams or so of residual sugar. Kientzler marginally prefers this wine to the 2000 version, but prefers the 2000 Geisberg to the earlier vintage "for its vivacity."
