Honeydew and lime blossom create an almost creamy texture that sets this apart from the typical electric Mosel style. Honeysuckle perfume builds through the mid-palate, showing the extended hang time that achieved phenolic ripeness while preserving freshness. The sugar-acid balance is seamless, but the finish stays coiled tight. This needs serious cellaring to reach its potential. Drink 2025–2045.
