Score 97/100 · James Suckling, Sep 2022

This feels like a German version of Trimbach\'s Clos Ste. Hune, but because the climate is cooler in Rheinhessen than in Alsace, this has very moderate alcoholic content and crisper acidity. Just a whiff of toast wafts over the lemon-curd, candied-lemon and wild-thyme aromas. Tremendous structure is married to almond-like creaminess and herbal freshness, the whole greater than the sum of the parts. Now just entering the ideal drinking window. Very long, toasty and chalky finish with plenty of energy. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
