  November 27, 2018 - Medium yellow color with slight silver hue. Lovely aromas of lime zest, green apple, pear and apricot with lilly, honey suckle, petrol, flint and wet stone. This off-dry wine has a medium body with a beautiful acidity that balances the sweetness of this wine and a lovely round mouth feel that is focused and precise. Great complexity and finish.

  February 7, 2016 - (89+) High-toned aromas led by attractive lime zest, light honey and slight toast. Golden apple. There's considerable acidity and good sweetness. Light on its feet, the richness of the attack is quickly fleeting into mid-palate, and the finish is abrupt. A slight petrol-soaked-rag character as the wine sees more air. Classicly weightless, this would be a happy and versatile drink at the dinner table. Any type of pork dish with considerable fat. For a spatlese with secondary notes already poking out, not a great deal of rich fruit and plenty of acidity - I would drink this earlier than later. Additional air brings out a slightly powdery texture and orange marmalade (with peel) in palate.

  April 5, 2015 - Tasted at the winery on 4/5. Solid in all regards. Not as sweet as one might expect. Palate coating, with considerable depth. 90-91.

  November 28, 2013 - Bright, clear light gold color. Initial nose has pears and apricots and then a classic petrol; very nice. Good mouth feel and body; more subtle fruit on tasting. Well-made wine that showed very well at our wine club this year. A little sweet for Thanksgiving but worked well with our savory meal.
