5 stars Robert Parker, Eichelmann Wine Guide, 4 Gault & Millau
Robert Parker:
“A magnificent winemaker, one of the world’s finest. Glorious, pleasurable but extraordinarily complex, savoury and compelling. Wines of purity, integrity and restraint, but understated power and intensity.”
John Gilman:
“Wines that legends are made of. One of the most serious ranges to be found in Germany.”

MFW:
A beautiful if rather ripe nose of pear, quince, herbs and spices. Firmly structured and leaves a great feeling of ripe fruit and fine herbs in the long and racy finish. This is one of the few real kabinetts of the vintage, but one which is still marked by acidity and will need a few years.

Gilman:
A superb bottle, with the delicacy and filigree one expects from this pradikat. The lovely nose wafts in a very pure mix of grapefruit, lime, a touch of wild yeasts, a beautiful base of slate, a whisper of petrol and a lovely topnote of violet. The palate is pure, medium full and succulent at the core, with lovely backend mineral drive, bright acids and excellent length and grip on the complex finish.

James Suckling:
Very pure and offers aromas of ripe nectarines and limes with a stony edge. The palate has a beautifully fleshy feel with succulent white peaches on offer. The balance is good, as is the freshness.
