Mosel Fine Wines: 88 Points
(7/2021) "The 2020er Riesling Feinherb Barrel X is an off-dry wine (with 20 g/l of residual sugar) which comes for half from Estate vineyards and for half from purchased fruit. It proves superbly aromatic and inviting as the nose is loaded with ripe fruits (pear, yellow peach, a hint of apricot), whipped coconut cream, and a whiff of honey, all wrapped into cooler elements such as minty herbs and smoke. The wine is delicately creamy on the palate, but this smoother side gives way to fresher flavors of zest and spices in the well delineated finish. This engaging wine will need a year or two to integrate its smoothness and develop more its spicy and focused side. Drink: 2022-2029."
