Light to medium gold. On the nose it shows some petrol, some nuttiness, some banana; a bit deeper and richer nose than the 2015. I get a mineral note on the entry, then more stone fruit comes out into the mid-palate and finish, and on the finish it has a slightly baked flavor at first. Re-visiting later, palate is all dried tangerine and peach, very tasty. More weight on this than the 2015. Nice bottle.

This was the first of 3 bottles I purchased. Clear med yellow color. Drinking very nicely and out of it's dumb phase (if it ever was in one). Loaded with white orchard fruit, mango and peaches. Slight spritz with gripping acidity. Just below the 2001 Gundeloch Auslese which was opened next to it. 94-95 points.

The Night of Three (Random) Verticals (My House): Drank this next to the 2015 Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese.
