Community Tasting Notes 3

  December 27, 2022 - (from memory) Moderate to deep gold, perfumed bouquet of honeysuckle, lemongrass, and orchard fruit, bright but slightly thin fruit on the attack with layers of melon, candied lemon and honey on the palate, finishes with more melon and honey notes, bees wax and lingering candied citrus fruits
  
  Note: Purchased two bottles in 2002 and partly-by-accident and partially on purpose rested both for a decade longer than WS would advise, and although the second bottle (TN reflects the second bottle) was noticeably better than the first, this is a true testament to the longevity of these Spätleses, still lively, fruit-driven but well balanced wine

  March 16, 2004 - Nose shows hints of petrol and strong minerality. I also find some white floral elements. The palate is fairly simple and straight forward with honey, lemons, and custard. The best feature of this wine is the lively acid that makes it very food friendly.
