 Tasted by Sperls on 7/1/2023 & rated 92 points: There is a great PMK note fr 2016 that nails it - feels both dry and sweet at the same time. Still very fresh w nice acidity and a long finish. Great with smoked chicken legs. (139 views)
 Tasted by spendergast on 10/23/2020 & rated 94 points: This wine continues to drink well. Notes similar to last bottle in 2018, apricot, honeysuckle, pear; nice balance with good acidity and medium finish. Paired nicely with spicey grilled chicken thighs diavolo. (530 views)
 Tasted by spendergast on 11/1/2018 & rated 94 points: Very nice Riesling with notes of honey suckle, pear, apricot with good acidity and long finish. (963 views)
 Tasted by ILarsen on 2/16/2018 & rated 93 points: It is fruit - but its sweet its pear its apple its mellon and it is very much honey - medium acidity but also a high level of sugar - especially early in your mouth - I think the balance is perfect and integration is just something Weinbach is a master of doing. Long after taste. Really a wine with character - big 93. (964 views)
 Tasted by pmk on 12/16/2016 & rated 94 points: Wine spectator has it just right - manages to be dry and sweet andthe same time. Spectacular mouthfeel great finishing acidity and minerality. Wonderful with curry chicken. Popped and poured . Drink Now. (1186 views)
 Tasted by Morrisson on 4/1/2016 & rated 88 points: Vin d'une belle complexité avec des goûts d'ananas et de fruits confits.
Par contre j'ai senti un peu de lourdeur que je n'ai jamais perdu dans les autres produits du producteur. (1171 views)
 Tasted by Vini Ciclismo on 2/16/2016 & rated 94 points: Very pale colour.
Very ripe fruit, tropical tones with citrus backing, very floral with lovely white flowers and a touch of honeysuckle.
Fleshy, lots of dry extract, delicious ripe tropical and citrus fruits. Mineral zest, all throughout to the long lingering finish. Has a light slatey streak, almost smokey, adding a nice complexity. Needs a bit of time to relax and open up. Excellent. (1100 views)
 Tasted by bajayngo on 12/3/2015: Was a great flight next to a 04 JJ Prum Spatlese. Bone dry with sesame seed, mineral, tart apples, herbs and great back end acids. (914 views)
 Tasted by prof b on 5/29/2015: . (1066 views)
 Tasted by Vini Ciclismo on 3/23/2015 & rated 93 points: Very pale straw.
Ripe fruits, melon, pear, peach and a little honeysuckle. Very refined and pure.
Velvety, medium weight. Highly focussed but with an extremely smooth entry and lengthy finish. The acidity is slightly hidden by the fullness and depth of fruit plus a fraction of residual sugar. Perfect ripe fruits, lovely minerality and a smooth creamy finish. Not a blockbuster at all, but drinks beautifully. (1033 views)
 Tasted by pmk on 4/28/2014 & rated 93 points: Wine Spectator has it right: Sweet on entry, then more austere in the middle, with lively acidity lifting the concentrated peach nectar and quince flavors. an amzing wine for riesling lovers who understand Alsatian wines. (1241 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 4/19/2013: Some Bottles from a Week in France; 4/14/2013-4/21/2013 (Paris, Northern Burgundy, Alsace): Richer and slightly sweeter than the Schlossberg Ste. Catherine but not necessarily better. (2490 views)
