Medium gold with heavy weight in the glass. Ripe fruit nose. Notes of ripe apricot, yellow peach, petrol, nectarine pit, some river stones. Sweet fruit in the mouth. Rich with soft yet present acidity. Air time gives the wine more amplitude. Nice stuff!

This wad very, very good. Delicate and full of both minerals and light fruit (lychee leaves to almost muscat-like grape juice). Exceptional balance and long - acidity carries it to the peak and back.

Straw gold, heavy in the glass. Fruit forward nose. Notes of apricot, cantaloupe, river stone and some petrol. Vibrant acidity and great mouth feel. Rich. Still young but very enjoyable. Has more acidity than the Spatlese next to it.

#riesling #sonnenuhr #auslese #drloosen incredibly pure aromas of honeycomb and ripe pineapple. The problem with this wine is that it's lacking complexity and length on the finish. I was hoping for so many more tertiary notes on the palate and more body. Slightly "light" or "watered down" auslese

Beautiful. On the candied side of the fruit spectrum. Acid is falling off a bit too
