"The nose of the 2004 Oberemmeler Hutte Riesling Auslese A.P. #8 offers minty overtones to aromas of pear, cherry and spiced apple. Pure and rich on the palate, with an attractive creaminess of texture, at least today it misses the clarity and focus of the corresponding Spatlese. The finish offers a decisive sense of slate and strong fruit, encouraging one to believe that additional clarity and complexity may follow in time." - David Schildknecht (163, The Wine Advocate)
