Description
93 points Wine Enthusiast
"A shy nose on this wine reveals little fruit, but more air allows lemon-edged Mirabelle to show through. The palate delivers lemony brightness, supported by the slightest carbon-dioxide spritz. Juicy, ripe Mirabelle plum awaits underneath, so freshness frames ripeness. The finish is exquisite, long, joyful and dry."
92 points James Suckling
"This ripe, generous wine is the perfect introduction to Alsace dry riesling. Plenty of mirabelle-tart character, plus some grapefruit and exotic-fruit notes, making this enticing in the nose and juicy on the fullish palate. The finish is clean and dry, in spite of the moderate acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes."
Jancis Robinson
"Full bottle 1,354 g. Organically farmed vineyards.
Peaches and old wood dust on the nose. Real flair and drama. Nectarines and clementine with a gorgeous gravel-dipped-in-liquid-mica mineralogy. Toasted hazelnut skin. Toasted oat bread. bread. Superbly complex with a helical spiralling beauty. 17.5/20 points. (TC)"
Vinous Reverie Notes
Clos des Capucins vineyard composed of sand silt soil on granite pebbles. The grapes growing on this terroir ripen a lot earlier, producing wines with complex aromatics and a powerful concentration. Organic and Biodynamic (certified by Ecocert & Demeter). Tasting Notes: Delightful at the nose with aromas of white blossoms and notes of lime. Shows a fine, delicate entry and a nice concentration mid-palate. Offers a beautiful combination of crisp granny smith apples and a delicate minerality. Juicy with a long lingering finish.
