In general this was a harvest that brought very concentrated and ripe musts with unusually high acids into the cellars. Yields much below '89. Average mustweight over 90 chsle. Very high acid levels, especially for this microclimate, and very concentrated wines. Sp tlese was harvested at 98 chsle.
Quality is concentrated in a great number of Ausleses.
Dr. Pr m already prefers the '90 vintage over both 1988 and 1989. Bert Selbach also prefers the 1990 vintage over 1988 and 1989. Here also 1990 is judged to be the best of the three vintages. The wines have great depth, and great concentration. Wilhelm Haag feels that in over 25 years as cellar master this may be the best vintage the estate has produced.
