The last two vintages here have been impeccable. While 2007 brought more noble late harvest rieslings, the 2008s shine with ripe fruit, salty minerality and fine balance, with dry and off-dry bottlings more prominent. As I wrote last year, these scores may not appear high, but the wines are a pleasure to drink.
