Grapefruit is the main theme, with flashes of mineral. A nutty note midpalate, all bound by a vibrant structure. Well-integrated and long. Drink now through 2012. 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Germany / Franken Select to Add

Make no mistake—this is full-bodied, but it carries its 14.5% alcohol without any sign of warmth, just mouthcoating layers of flavor.
