Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2044, David Schildknecht, Vinous, Apr 2020
A prickly, high-toned nose features mirabelle and quince in jellied and distilled form, mingled with lemon zest and radish. Honey, caramel and marzipan slick the palate, where the fruit exhibits a desiccated sense of concentration, reflecting the shriveled as well as botrytized nature of the grapes that informed this rich elixir. The finish is a bit dominantly sweet – despite analytically high acidity – but impressively sustained.

Ripe, intense spicy yellow plum and peach. Very sweet, honeyed apricot, balanced, just, by the acidity. Needs time to mesh. Tastes more like a Beerenauslese than an Auslese. (JH)
