2015 Riesling Krover Steffensberg Spatlese, Daniel Vollenweider
"Pink grapefruit, peach, muskmelon and a hint of cassis point to advanced ripeness of fruit such as would have informed an Auslese at most Mosel estates. The effect is as though some Scheurebe had been blended in. The richness and sweetness here are almost syrupy, though thankfully there are compensatory factors: abundant primary juiciness and piquant zest of grapefruit as well as a palpable sense of extract. The finish comes off almost shockingly electric and refreshing, wicking away any sense of excess sweetness and penetrating with remarkable brightness. There are two distinct parts to this performance, but no sense of disharmony. Drink 2017-2030." David Schildknecht, Vinous.com, June 2017
