Notes of spice and crushed earth abound in this intensely ripe but classic expression of the red-slate slopes of Ürziger Würzgarten. Delicately sweet and delightfully tropical, it balances rich, ripe melon and pineapple flavors against a zippy spine of lemon acidity. The finish is long and smoky. Delicious in youth but should evolve beautifully through 2035 and hold longer still. ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA 7/1/2021

This lovely sipper has a gently sweet nose with notable mineral underpinnings beneath its forthcoming aromas of grapefruit pith, lemon zest, orange marmalade, strawberry guava and pink rose jelly. It is supple and quietly palate-coating in the mouth, with the freshness to support its rich flavors of grapefruit, honeysuckle, Meyer lemon and pink rose. Those flavors linger along with some balancing mineral hints. Best served on its own, it is ready to enjoy.
