Very perfumed – almost a hint of Gewurz rose petals, though it is more mineral than that. Rich, concentrated and packed with flavour without any loss of structure or shape. (JH)

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2009-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2009

Pungent nose. Rich, green leafy aromas with big impact. Lots of acidity and minerality. Bone dry and it reminds me a little of some Heymann Lowenstein in the Lower Mosel. (JR)
