February 25, 2024 - Riesling bash at CHIKO (Chevy Chase, Maryland): I wish I had more time with this, but it was beautiful. Dense and rich a full tropical appeal but the taut, racy acidity and crunchy minerals give this a brisk, lip-smacking feeling. Lovely, with so much life ahead.

February 25, 2024 - Fascinating side-by-side with this and the goldkap auslese. They are dramatically different. This one comes across crunchy, mostly dry, with an angular cut and more evolved flavors, several shades darker in complexion flavorwise than the auslese and if not at peak maturity certainly knocking at the door of it.

January 27, 2024 - PnP - This wine rocks! My last bottle and it was glorious! Nose showed lots of honeysuckle, stone fruit, and tropical fruits, along with some sea shell and sulphur. The palate was equally expressive with lots of stone fruits (peaches and nectarines, with a little apricot) some apple, pear and hints of pineapple and Meyers lemon coupled with minerality from flint, limestone and oysters. The mouthfeel was spectacular with enough acidity to counteract the sweetness. Also, there was the feeling of effervescence as the golden liquid cascaded down the tongue and finished with a sweet, waxy mouthfeel, like a semi-sweet honeycomb. 95+ and I wish I had more! I can't wait for my 2016s to get some more age on them!

December 31, 2023 - Purchased on release in 2002/2003. Drank on New Year's Eve and shared with family in small amounts. Just a fabulous wine ready to go upon opening. Pale yellow on day one still looking young but not infantile. Still plenty of acidity but wonderfully balanced. The family that was not used to this level of wine was astonished. I'm glad I have a couple more of these 01's as well as some of the GKA.
