David Schildknecht (International Wine Cellar): "Peach, ginger spice and high-toned maraschino aromas. Cherries and peaches continue to figure on the palate, which features an imposingly liqueur-like intensity, volatility and texture. For all of its upfront intensity, this leads to an elegant, polished, refined and remarkably long finish layering peach, candied citrus, red fruit, nut oils, honey, slate and spice."

94 points Fine Wine Review: "[$70/375ml list] The Bockenauer Felseneck Ausl is bright, mineral and acidity with orange and strawberry aromas and flavors. Give this wine some time to develop, but it is most promising. (Issue #97; 2003)"

87+ points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "Vollenweider's dry-tasting 2008 Riesling -- another first-time label-designation at this address, although in this year at least, it comes entirely from the Krower Steffensberg -- smells of pumpkin, yellow plum, sage, nettle and hints of wood smoke. Fresh lemon, tomatillo, and plum skin lend this invigoration, and despite 12% alcohol and a certain sense of substantiality, it exhibits vintage-typical buoyancy. This relatively water-retentive site promotes acid retention -- as strong vintage characteristic anyway -- even when harvested late and at high must weight, as here. I'd plan to enjoy it within 3 years, and it may come to terms more effectively with its acidity even in the short run. (Feb 2010)"

86 points Wine Spectator: "[$16 list] Offers fresh cut apple flavors and citrus notes on a lithe frame. Juicy finish is fruity and spicy. Drink now. (2011)"
Importer notes: "Very fine in the nose, with pear fruit and delicate minerality. On the palate the wine's structure is substantial, with very fine details. Very pretty style, so easy and refreshing to drink."
