Showing even better than it did a year ago. A smack of petrol right when it was opened blew off mostly, but was still in the background later. Acid cuts through this wine and balances it out perfectly. Nose of apples, pineapples, pears and a health dose of something floral I couldn't place, so let's just say white flowers...
This easily has 10++ years left in it, but drinking so nicely now will be hard to avoid drinking more...

Drank at a going away for a dear friend. Beautiful Riesling, just a hint of sweetness, but noticeable. Have 3 more going to give them another 5+ years to truly come alive

Initially slightly closed but opens to lovely apple, orange zest and citrus, growing progressively more honeyed. Palate follows suit with vintage-true acid gradually being displaced by a creamier, richer mouthfeel in time; though always kept in check by the cut.

Fantastic Spätlese, packed with classic Mosel fruit, slate and faint floral and honeyed touches. Really good acidity giving it razor-sharp precision and a sense of incredible freshness with a long finish that's all apple and slate.

Elegant and a true Spätlese. I could have used more outright flavor or minerality, though. Closed? Very Good.

Drinks with Friends (Pago): Tried to wait on this, but it's just too damn good.

Beatuiful light sweet fruit nose, just a touch of orange zest, this is elegant, complex, perfectly balanced, terrific wine.
