September 24, 2021 - Well balanced with a medium mouth feel. Tastes of honey balanced nicely with acidity. Would buy again.

Only slightly sweet, but just full of character. Slides along the tongue while tickling the fancy. Just lovely!

Even better, if anything. What a pleasure to drink. -

March 11, 2021 - Very fruity (guava, meyer lemon, and hint of passion fruit), along with honeyed accents and bit of waxiness. On the sweet side, but not as sweet as many Spatlese. The secondary characteristics that I appreciate are not fully developed yet. This has the stuffing to go for years. As tasty as this is now, I will try to keep my hands off the rest of them for 10 years (easier said than done).

February 22, 2021 - Really complex, nice fruit forward and residual sugar. Love the petroleum feel. Give this several years. Will just get better.
