According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2007 Riesling Pfaffenberg offers ripe peach with wisps of smoke and a combination of salinity and meat stock-like savor that put me in mind of Chablis. A deep walnut oil and piquantly peach kernel bitterness lend a dark tone to the finish of this evidently botrytis-tinged Riesling which I suspect will be best enjoyed in the next 3-5 years." (02/09) According to importer Terry Theise: "The greatest Pfaffenberg from here in many years: semolina, oatmeal, brown sugar aromas; the palate is soaked with character, a hint of botrytis spice and paprika and cardamom and allspice; a dramatic mélange of cream and mineral and lusty untamed flavor."
