December 16, 2021 - At an excellent stage, but no rush to drink. Some richness, but supporting acidity and firmness; medium-full, velvet texture, yellow and white fruits plus some minerality. Classic for the Schloß and Rheingau. Cellared since original release.
Add on edit: even better the following day! -

June 1, 2019 - 1-007. My first bottle out of a case of 6 that I recently was able to buy due to a bankruptcy of a large wine trader - sad as it is. I was curious if this was not past its drinking window. Beautiful prominent yellow color reveals its 12-years of aging.
Scent of petrol, banana, but beeswax is dominant; a bit of pineapple and lemon. Long aftertaste - and dry which made me very happy as I generally don't appreciate sweet in Riesling. Lots to appreciate in this beautiful bottle; I do think I need to finish the case in the next 2-3 years max. -

December 23, 2017 - This is a perfectly classical Rheingau Erstes Gewächs, silky and mature, beautifully developed and complex, with grapefruit bitters and a touch of lowland whisky, medium body, much more about elegance and balance than about power, excellent terroir expression, layered finish, very good length. Beautiful.

January 28, 2017 - German wine tasting followed by a Lunch (@ de Nederlanden): In the bouquet ripe white fruits. On the palate concentrated, good sweetness and acidity balance as well as length. Ready now. No hurry.
