Tasting Notes

Tasting from 16.10.2013

Bright golden yellow, silver reflections. Nuances of honey heightened with fine botrytis savouriness, dried apricot, delicate dried plum, fine nougat touch, underlaid with yellow tropical fruit notes, a multi-faceted bouquet. Elegant, juicy peach fruit, very well integrated sweetness, finesse-rich acidity, long lasting, very balanced style, corresponding to a Beerenauslese, ripe apricot fruit in the aftertaste, almost perfect Riesling sweet wine with great future reserves. (AB, Biodyvin).
