"Seed- and pit-inflected pear, white peach and cherry are shadowed by their distilled counterparts and garlanded in musky iris and narcissus, accompanied by hints of mothball and raw pumpkin, on a hauntingly complex nose and a polished, subtly silken palate. For all of its textural allure and richness of fruit, this finishes with nearly as much focus and bright animation as does its Kabinett counterpart, though with fruit and flowers so effusively present that they may for now be covering up incipient mineral nuances. Nuts and toasted squash seeds serve for welcome counterpoint. And this Becker-typical tour de force will likely gain in stature with bottle age. Drinking Window: 2019-2032" – David Schildknecht
