Absolutely incredible eiswein, with finely etched flavors of pear and pineapple that flow across the palate like fruit syrup borne on light-footed acids. Stunningly sweet, but with great balancing acidity and a finish that lingers for minutes. ——J.C.(12/15/2004)—— 96

Features crisp pears and a honeyed quality but no sign of botrytis. It’s so clean that its floral complexities show through the high ripeness and huge sugar levels. Despite the intense sweetness, it’s relatively light in body; the finish picks up a distracting chalky note that dries the palate. —J.C. ——J.C.(3/1/2003)—— 89
