Professionelle Bewertungen

James Suckling (94)

Very cool and subtle peachy nose. Impressive ripeness and concentration for the challenging vintage, tons of wet stone minerality and lemon zest freshness drive the very long and precise finish. From vine planted in 1896. Vegan.

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Full bottle 1,299 g. Riesling vines planted in 1896 on red slate. Ungrafted. Fermented and aged in fuder barrel. Certified vegan friendly.
This is quite extraordinary. It's so young – it has not even unfolded its wings from the cocoon. And yet, in this incipient teeter of imperfectly formed space, this baby wine is already its own palimpsest. The acidity has the jewel-drop stillness of dew on a spider's web, the tiniest perturbation of light, refracting brightness with the pin-prick precision of a diamond, yet unnoticeable unless you kneel in the long grass and lean in close, and silent. It's chypre and wild orange, kumquat and fennel pollen. It's a lick of raw marble and the taste of dust in the air in the moments before a thunderstorm. It's a wine that feels frangible, fragile, yet stony strong. Light as a veil, yet gradations of steel. It earns the Japanese description shibui: elementary beauty. Intrinsic. Simplistic.

Falstaff (94)

Elegant, juicy and filigree on the nose. Yellow fruit, meadow flowers, all with a mineral background, complex. Marked acidity and plenty of power on the palate, minerality and fine fruit, great length and depth. Represents its provenance and the 125-year-old vines.

Wine Enthusiast (91)

Pure and seductive, this Riesling evokes concentrated flavors of nectarine, guava, jasmine and persimmon. It is elegant and vibrant, with stony and floral notes that add dimension to the profile. Firm with a savory finish.
