Their review describes a "haunting, penetratingly high-toned mélange" of aromas including "gentian, black tea, bruised apple skin and quince distillate." The palate mirrors the nose with "distillate-like, estrous concentration" and "haunting inner-mouth smokiness." The wine's finish is noted for its vibrant energy and persistence.

John Gilman from View From The Cellar awarded the wine a score of 95, describing it as "stunning" and "broader-shouldered" compared to Keller's Kirchspiel. He details an "aromatic constellation" featuring "sweet grapefruit, blood orange, a touch of passion fruit," and a "beautiful base of minerality."
