Mostly old vine (mid-1970s) Riesling, this has 11.7% alcohol and about 1% residual sugar. This is a gorgeous bottle, with floral fragrances that pile on acacia, rose petals and citrus blossom, and then moves into a luscious midpalate loaded with apples, peaches and citrus. The wine is seamless and well defined, with a perfect mix of fruit-forward flavors and the cut and precision of an ageworthy, German-style Kabinett.——P.G.(12/31/2008)—— 90
