Light lemon color. Complex on the nose with mineral, petrol, red and white fruit, cream, and cotton candy notes. Full bodied and silky on the palate with great balance of acid and sweet.

Seepage and a crumbly cork under the capsule, but thankfully the wine was fine. Golden in color, but no sign of oxidation. Very cool and unexpected note of tea on the nose. Peach and apple dessert on the palate. Sweet - like an auslese if I didn't know better. Enough acidity to keep this pretty fresh and bright, but two glasses was my fill.

Rich gold in the glass. Red apple, white flower honey on the nose. Very rich mouthfeel. Honeyed apple and hint of mineral on the palate. Acidity is a bit low -- probably due to age -- but definitely not flabby. Spicy food is its friend.

Signs of seepage on this bottle. Rich gold in color. Big nose of apple with trace of minerals. Echoed on the palate buttressed by surprisingly moderate acidity and no petrol flavors. Rich mouthfeel; goes down very smoothly.

The first night, this was rather tame without much nose, much acid, but had mineral notes in spades as it almost seemed to be effervescent. Day 2 this wine really took on a whole different facade. Rich, decadent, mouth coating and juicy thanks to subtle acid that meld this into an almost brilliant dessert type wine. Navel orange, peaches and whipped cream, a touch of some unidentified tropical fruits, maybe lychee, but very smooth and hard to believe that this is a Spatlese. This would give many sauternes a run for their money. With a lower ABV, this is so much smoother, it really is shining tonight. Straw colored and golden, the bottle showed signs of seepage and crystallization around the cork. I was worried, but this is in its comfort zone. Awesome bottle.

More advanced apple cider and honey notes, acidity is out of whack, not exhibiting the balance previous bottles showed.

White fruit (peach), pretty strong sugar. Slight floral. Lingering
finish. Pretty primary. Cork soaked nearly through. Slight sign of seepage under capsule.
