October 29, 2023 - Drank last weekend in Hudson w/Stine at Isaan. Medium gold in color. Nose of citrus & apricots. Medium body, solid acidity, mild level of sweetness up front with a dry finish. Some notes of petrol, lychee and citrus. Lovely long finish. Very nice wine in a very good place right now.

June 21, 2023 - -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 - 3 hours --
NOSE: moderately expressive; obvious tertiary aromas now -- kumquat and persimmon; hints of lychee and gooseberry.
BODY: cork was soaked about half way, and appeared to be in excellent condition; orange/amber color; full bodied.
TASTE: persimmon and kumquat repeated on the palate; medium acidity; gentle petrol; light honey/marmalade note; in maturity, and - imo - not going to improve from here. Very nice, and ready to Drink Now. -

July 28, 2020 - just not enough acidity to balance the sweetness - maybe an odd bottle?

May 27, 2020 - Dynamite. Really youthful and fresh. Shows a cooler profile despite the warmer year. Ruwer magic at work.

3/11/2007 (link)(Eitelsbacher Karthausherhofberg Spatlese) Red-fruited nose with cherries and slab of minerals poking into the foreground. Incredibly complex palate with loads of fruit pulp. Inner mouth pine aromas while you swish add to the insane mineral complexity. Brilliant Spatlese. Up there with the Zilliken Saarburger Rausch with one of the best values in the Mosel in 2005.
