    September 9, 2023 - Medium gold, expressive and quite sweet on the nose with some petrol, but also white flowers, baked apple, ginger, apricot, complex and interesting. Palate does not quite live up to the nose, a little sweet but needs a little more zing with the acidity for me. More apple, peach, apricot, quite full and ripe with a long ripe aftertaste. These things last forever, but this is drinking very well now.

    March 31, 2023 - Method: pop and pour; fridge temp; white wine glass

    Look: medium- gold/yellow

    Nose: apricot, light honey, faint candied ginger; not very expressive

    Palate: apricot, dried apricot, lemon head, ginger; medium finish something a touch savory/earthy that I can't place, maybe faint fresh parsley; low sweetness; medium body; medium integrated acidity

    Overall thoughts: Tasty with a bit of extra interest from maturity. Finish is a bit short, and it's not quite as distinct or expressive as it could be. Sufficiently balanced but lacking tension. Very good wine!

    Update: Definitely better on night 2, as it was much spicier. Makes me think the wine is still on its way up. Might've scored it 90 - 91 pts if this is how it was showing when I took my notes.

    March 1, 2023 - NobleRottersSydney - German night (Fix, St James, Sydney): {cork, 8.5%, AP 06 06} Intense, developing, vibrant nose of passionfruit and pineapple. Startlingly tropical and fresh for nearly eighteen years! A joyous riot of developing fruit and sugar in the mouth, with a vast array of tropical fruits, medium acidity, light/medium weight and a long, balanced palate that finishes with a dry twist, not a sugary droop. Awesomely impressive wine. Near peak? Dunno – how long do these things last?

    March 30, 2021 - I enjoyed, don't usually like whites, but the missus thinks is on the down slope. I found the fruit to be fresh, lively and refreshing with some zing still left.

    (J.J. Prum Bernaksteler Badstube Spatlese) My first '05 Prum! And it did not dissapoint. Another touch of sulfur but such purity and richness on the nose and a palate with waves and waves of fruit and mineral. Incrtedibly concentrated with dense minerality and a long finish. Just blew away the previous wines. Spectacular!
