Jan 9th, 2015Great tribute to Germany. RS and acid levels about right for a warm vintage, half-dry Spät. Good varietal character, even a bit of petrol. Slightly advanced; don't see this improving beyond a few years. Crushed it next to Thai curry!

Apr 2nd, 2016Brightening and peach aromatics, wow loads of sugar but the acidity balances it perfectly. Caramelized and wonderful with a golden color showing it's slight aging. Smooth and a nice mouthful sitting on the pallet.
