    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Complex, botrytis inflected notes of fresh tea, orange, fig, this shows incredible purity and precision, great sweetness but also a calm assuredness, leading to a kiss of intense peach and apricot on the finish. Nectar.

    Critic Reviews

    94/100
    David Schildknecht,
    Vinous
    Harvested on January 7, this displays an Eiswein-typical aromatic aura of sugar-glazed, candied fruits mingled with high-toned fruit distillates. On the custardy-rich yet buoyant palate, though, the impression is of a pineapple-studded, quince jelly-slathered lemon meringue, generating a productive tension of bright citricity with confitured and candied fruits. The finish is formidably penetrating and persistent, clean, clear and vibrant, with lemon, pineapple and candied white currant to the fore. It’s amazing that there is such purity and focused brightness on display from fruit that hung out, exposed to the elements, for so long. This will certainly be exciting to follow, and may well prove exceedingly long-lived; though the inherently capricious behavior of Eiswein should always serve as something of a warning (which is also what I intend with my intentionally conservative quantitative “drink by” estimate).(Release price referenced here is for 375 ml.)
