99 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "Picked in November and December, Weil's 2004 Kiedricher Grafenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese ended up being assembled from 25 tiny lots. The astounding aromas include the ocean, lobster reduction, veal demi glace, caramelized peach and quince preserves. Thick, dense and creamy in the mouth, it displays remarkably restrained sweetness and a wafting, delicate sense that is hard to describe. The palate is positively teeming with ocean-deep minerality and field-sized florality. This wine is one of those full immersion experiences from which your soul will emerge changed, if not saved. In the finish, there is an invigorating and animating juiciness and saltiness for all of the persistent parallel impression of creamy richness. One senses that the selection was so deft and the material available so perfect, that a certain number of still juicy, unraisined, green-golden berries could be retained."

Opulent aromas of caramelized peach, quince preserves and oyster shell. Incredibly dense and creamy-rich, but the sweetness is leavened by a juicy, almost salty tanginess. In spite of this wine's great depth and weight, it's impressively elegant. Finishes with great persistence.
