I prefer the dry 1998s to the dry 1999s in the Pfalz. Tasty now, showing juicy apricot and spice nuances in a rich, well-defined profile. Beautifully balanced and long. Drink now through 2005. 400 cases made.??–BS??Region: Germany / Pfalz Select to Add

The soft, spicy scents of the bouquet mix grapes, flowers, talcum powder and a faint petrol note to create an almost Gewurz-like symphony. It’s lovely and impressively complex, as layers of grape flavor, flowers, minerals and citrus rind gain power in the mouth. The mineral elements come up on the tangy finish. Exotic and smooth, it is immediately appealing but also built to age for 6–8 years.——W.E.(8/1/2001)—— 90
