Fresh quince and lime announced on the nose take on a delightful sorbet like character on the palate, at once caressingly creamy and brightly juicy. Bittersweet nut extracts and lightly smouldering, ore like smokiness harken to the character of this year’s Hermannshohle Grosses Gewachs. The resonant, subtly spicy and mouth-wateringly salt tinged finish opens up a shimmering vista of crystalline stone. David Schildknecht, Vinous (95)
