96 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Decanter): "This is one of the increasingly common late releases from the hands of biodynamic pioneer Clemens Busch in the Middle Mosel. This rarity comes from 110-year-old ungrafted vines grown on blue Devonian slate. The grapes were fermented spontaneously in the traditional 1,000l fuder after 40 hours of skin-contact, then aged for 15 months on its gross lees. So much extract contained in such slenderness is astonishing. Echoes of slate and honey are everywhere, despite the dryness, while its length and texture are showstopping. Drinking Window: 2019-2039.
