"In 2012, the Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Spätlese is a very succulent and tasty example of the vintage that is quite a bit more forward than some other estates’ top Spätlesen. The lovely nose jumps from the glass in a mix of white cherries, pears, lilacs, bee pollen, slate and just a whisper of petrol. On the palate the wine is medium-full, crisp and juicy on the attack, with lovely focus and bounce, but really pretty gentle cut and grip on the long finish. This will drink very well from the outset and is balanced enough to age gracefully, but I would have loved to have seen a bit more snap on the backend. 2013-2030."
