Great Xmas Auslese. Nose is mineral and honeyed. Sleek. Palate is rich and ripe with great freshness and a honeyed texture. Mineral and savory finish. Bright.

Huge aromas, slate. Green apple, ripe nose. No botrytis. Elegant and very pure palate. So nice. Acid is so insane on the finish.

Last had this July 2023 and it was noticeably improved: soaring aromas of beautiful delineated peach & apricot, powdered sugar, lemon meringue and lime cream. Just epic nose, smooth & silky on palate, still vibrant acidic backbone and sumptuous orchard fruit, orange blossom & all soaked in honey. Wowza - our guests were astonished…

Wowza, chameleon - confectionery nose, along with lime, minerals, taffy, salty, orchard fruit - oh and the palate has this unexpected electric acidity but it’s still silky, smooth & sexy w/RS more like Spatlese than Auslese. Out of 500ml / @Lyle Fass

Nose is stone fruits. Confectionary.

Palate is delicious. Stone fruits and confectionary as well. Some acidity.

Very good. Lacks the complexity and acidic zing to be truly great. A good deal though.
