Scents and flavors of peach and yellow plum, citrus and mineral notes. Extremely long, white peach finish. "With refined aromas of spice, ripe stone fruit and a hint of diesel, this wine offers everything one could want from a premium Auslese. It is full and creamy with superb acidity and fullness of honey and peach flavor. Made from the 105 year old vines of this Great Growth (Grosses Gewachs), Germany’s highest level quality Riesling."

"Orange blossoms and lemon zest exhilarate in this dry, richly concentrated Riesling. It’s medium bodied in style and filigreed in texture, filling the mouth with layers of stone fruit and citrus. Vibrant acidity shimmers on the finish."

"Very smoky nose of sealing wax and candied citrus. This medium-bodied dry riesling is strikingly original and has good balance on the impressively structured palate, but it does lack a bit of charm. Long, firm finish. May well show better after further bottle age. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - Stuart PIGOTT (Senior Editor)"

"In spite of the abundant yellow fruit aromas (think Mirabelle plums more than peaches), this is a very cool and sleek style of Mosel GG with great herbal freshness. Although this has excellent concentration, it definitely needs time to give its best due to the bone-dry style. Quite a steely, tightly wound finish, but very long. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. - Stuart PIGOTT (Senior Editor)"
