May 13, 2022 - Still great after 10 years! Very round, great nose, primary tropical fruit gone, very creamy instead but still enough power

June 2, 2019 - A pungent, dry dose of minerality and tart citrus. This coming on the heals of a btl of Chablis, made the Chablis seem downright off dry if not sweet. Now, I'm exaggerating as Chablis is dry but this takes dry to whole new level. I enjoyed this wine but might prefer it a couple years younger, brighter and fresher.

October 2, 2016 - I had this from a double magnum and loved it. Only 12% alcohol, according the label. It has a bracing acidity and a nice touch of fruit. Easy drinking, it went really well with Oysters. I didn't notice any "green" notes that WA mentioned in its review.

April 16, 2016 - Not without reason this is one of the best entry Level estate Rieslings in Germany. It has all it needs: Ínteresting, medium intense nose with notes of slate and fruit, dry with a bit of residual sugar, good acidity, not too much alcohol (12% abv), nice fruit. Drinks nicely right now, but can Age for several more years and will maybe improve a bit. Very good wine to either drink with food or stand alone.
