Tasting notes

A sweet white dessert wine.

"93 out of 100...Medium yellow-gold. Initially quite fruity on the nose, with lemon zest and blossom honey notes; with aeration, some nutty aromas and a hint of botrytis spice join in. Playful acidity seems to dance with the wine's sweetness. A classically styled Welschriesling TBA with an impression of lightness and superb focus. Finishes elegant and fruity, with a salty impression of extract. Expect this wine to develop aromas of fresh hay and tea with bottle aging. Drink now to 2030." - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

"91 out of 100...Rich and fresh-tasting, with loads of cream, honey and spice flavors, and notes of vanilla and allspice. Luscious and balanced, with an enveloping unctuousness. Drink now through 2012. 31 cases imported." - WS

"91 out of 100...#3 Welschriesling Zwischen den Seen smells of pineapple, must, and sage, with an almost hidden hint of mushroom. Thick and creamy on the palate, yet shot through with bracing citricity, it weaves a relatively noble hint of sauteed mushrooms, even truffle, into its sweet flavors. In the long finish, featuring candied pineapple and sorghum, marrow and mushroom, the fine acids and sheer density successfully buffer the enormous sweetness." - WA
