What do the experts say?

“

Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Avocate): This wine is very intense and fine at the same time, with smoky and lemony flavors, a remarkable concentration and a perfume-like flavor of grapefruits. This wine is pure, piquant and concentrated, highly finessed, fresh and light on the palate. This is an intense, lush and elegant Auslese with a delicate and endlessly salty finish that reveals a very attractive grip and huge aging potential. With 7% alcohol and just a bit of botrytis.
