As in 2007, the 2008s from the affable Christoph Tyrell show juicy fruit and refreshing elegance, but with the exception of the Eiswein there are few bottlings that stand out and none that can compare with those from the finest estates on the Mosel Perhaps I am being overcritical, but my expectations are high when I see this unique label.
