Orange liqueur, grapefruit, baking spices and black tea on the nose. Honeyed, rich and liqueur-like, as was Haart's Spatlese from the Dronhofberger, but this is more billowing and expansive yet more delicate in touch. Rising to a sweet concentration, it never sacrifices juicy refreshment, clarity or slate character. Generous portions of cassis, orange, grapefruit, spice and honey in the finish. Potential 2 stars.
