This was interesting but definitely not in the excellent category. Style is low alcohol and on the sweeter side although not cloying. On the first night, had a somewhat bizarre turn to pineapple cream cake - wife really wasn't a fan although it was not bad. Other nights, it lost that turn but remained a bit fruity. I think I expected more but it's decent for what it is.

Gyllen farge, syrlige gule epler, sitrus, masse kvartsmineraler. Aprikos, ikke så mye syre. Aprikoser gjorde at jeg ikke trodde at dette var Riesling. Jeg mente den mangler syre. De andre mener den mangler kompleksitet. Grans Fassian Tritenheimer apotheke, Spätlese 2007. Søtere fremtoning enn sitt predikat, mangler syre for å være i toppen. Gamle updede vinstokker uten vinlus. 92

Sweet green apple, peach, candied apricot, slate on the nose. Heavy body as one would expect with this level of spatlese, still effervescent! Buttery in body and finish. Light gold hue indicates longevity. Petrol and woody on palate in addition to every flavor evident on the nose. Finish is strong petrol, wood, and stone/slate. Well worth the 25$ and from the perfect area for Rieslings. Still tasting it over a minute after.

Some petrol on the nose, lush, full bodied, apricot, lots of white fruit with some sweetness, low acidity. A decent made Spatlese, if you you like this style

Brighter and fresher than the 2009 piesporter spat. Very nice wine, but again pricey.

A little weird on its own, but man did this shine with a spicy curry. I could have gulped it by the gallon. Consistent notes.

Out of balance, noticeably sweet. I'd say over-sweet. I craved acid, more mineral counterweight. Disappointing.

Starts out like a buttery apple crisp, with good acidity and a streak of stone at the finish. Good not great.

Corked but the gorgeous off dry apple, tangerine and honey were still easy to appreciate, as was the crystalline acidity. Sigh.

Bright, sweet apple aromas. Medium to full body with sugared apples. Long finish and I like the little shot of residual.
