Review: "Medium green-yellow. Attractive, uniquely spicy bouquet of plum, peach, anise, caraway and honey. Flavors of pineapple, grapefruit and lichee are carried by a brilliant acid structure, which lends this medium-to-full-bodied riesling a juicy mouthfeel. Elegant and already offering plenty of drinking pleasure, this superb wine shows excellent potential for aging. Drink 2010 to 2022."- 94 pts, Peter Moser, Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar, Nov./Dec. 2008.
