January 22, 2022 - Lovely, mature Riesling nose that maintains a surprising amount of freshness. Deep and complex flavors of peach and honey, with a citrus note and some tertiary flavors. Medium acidity on the palate with lovely depth of flavors and notes of more stone fruit and citrus with good weight. Long finish. A fantastic wine and experience!

December 21, 2012 - Tasted blind originally thought is was older Chardonnay but on second guess thought it was Gruner. Very unusual combination of laser crisp entry and leesy creamy finish. Overall a really interesting wine.

August 1, 2006 - Dinner with friends (My house): Pure, petrol fumes and natural aromas of fresh cut grass, honeyed peach and apricot, and white flowers. Mature, weighty palate well supported by a vibrant acidity and minerality. No signs of decline. Beautiful wine, and very Nikolaihof in style.
