This is classic Alsatian, bone dry and absolutely delicious.
90 Points, Stephen Tanzer/Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar. Pale medium yellow. Very minerally aromas of pineapple and crushed stone. Powerful, pure wine with flavors of raw pineapple, crushed and liquid stone and menthol. This has an almost painful intensity, as well as a light touch that's a pleasant surprise for the vintage. Finishes very long and powerful, with a youthfully aggressive character and a hint of almond. Offers an intriguing sweetness but not quite the energy of the 2004 example.
