92 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "What an uplifting and charming Saar wine. Stacks of mandarin orange and honeysuckle aromas are wrapped around a very bright acidic and wet-stone core. The latter makes this light-bodied beauty taste much drier than it really is. Just 8% alcohol makes this really easy to enjoy, but there’s precision and delicacy that give this sophistication. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (10/29/24)"
Importer notes: "Another village level off-dry, this is sourced from various parcels on the “Grand Cru” Kupp – as such this is more the equivalent of “Senior,” in a Feinherb style. In other words, it is a “Grand Cru,” declassified and sold at village-level pricing. Most of the sites are east facing on the summit of the Kupp which gets the first rays of morning sun. This tends to be a bit deeper and broader-shouldered than the No. 4; it has more mineral complexity and more depth. The analytics are similar to the No. 4, so expect lightning bolts and some dizziness."
