Off the charts amazingly good. Lights out if you will.... perfect time to drink this with 15+ years on it. Color still bright and pale golden yellow. Nose full of beautifully fresh fruit and just a hint of petrol. Perfect pairing with schnitzel (duh).. makes me again realize why riesling ranks at the top of the worlds best wines and yet it is still a value. Check out other ratings for this wine. I'm not the only one who loves it I guess

Balanced in all forms- great texture and freshness of fruit with lightning acidity. Went fast. 🏁🏁

Rich and concentrated, and not as light footed as wines from Saar.

The nectar of the gods. Honeyed apricots and pineapple. Beautifully balanced, sweet, but just enough acidity to maintain freshness.

This was kicking.  Nose was bright with spice and peach.  Palate showed integration with bright acid and sweetness feeling like they were just woven together.  Creamy lemon, peach, and botrytis.  A killer year and a killer site.  Could also see some improvement with time, but its so hard to wait.
