Alas, the sun is setting on this old girl, but she still had a little life of white raisin, honey, and petrol. Oh, to have met her in her prime!

Maybe this bottling is sweeter. More RS than I remember. Lovely, aroma and very direct.

Love this. Absolutely stunning Riesling. Smooth. Crisp acid. Dry with a great finish

Too young? Good for me, could definitely lay it down though

Slight oxidized quality on the nose, ripe red apples, pear, baking spices, a touch of toasted coconut, apricot, ripe peaches, stone fruit. Petrol. On the palate elite spritz, intense and fruity on the palate. Lots of ripe fruit. Peaches and apricots. Dried apricots too. Off dry. Very complex and juicy. Pleasure to drink.

Smooth and round and crisp. Good but not really Großes Gewächs level.

Absolutely gorgeous at 11 years old. Displaying classic petrol on the nose. Sweet green apple balanced with slate minerality and bright acidity.
