Wonderfully balanced. Moderate presence of petroleum on the nose. Lychee, bruised apple and candied tropical fruit. Bright and alive.

Questionable cork, yet still delicious, love the balance of sweet/sour

I have loved this vintage from the beginning and I think that I've tasted this specific wine at least 30 times already, and it has always been spectacular. That said, I've seen it perform much better on multiple occasions previously.. If you own some; hold off and wait for the next phase!

An amazing wine where skyrocketing acidity are professionally balanced by lofty amounts of RS. Lively and very long, this boats concentration and slatey minerality, yet is the definition of airiness.

Gorgeous - needs time to open up. Lime flowers and a little jasmine. Focused, linear, and so so pretty. A regal wine.

We had 7 different Rieslings last night, and this was my WOTN, peach, pear, and apricots all melded with slate, beeswax, and honeyed-floral notes from botrytis.

Packed with ripe and gently developed stone fruit aromas and flavors, highlighted by lemon juice, severe, slatey minerals and acidity to die for. Difficult to create a classic Spätlese better than this.
