  Very broad and ripe, more together than prior bottles. I’d say this is close to peak as it develops caramel and brown butter notes.

  Ripe, rich, golden colour; deep, honeyed nose, a bit one-dimensional; big and sweet on the palate, the richness and weight of an Auslese, lovely balancing acidity, exciting but perhaps slightly light flavours of peach, ripe lemon and salted caramel; good but not outstanding length for a wine of this intensity and concentration. So much better than the bottle tasted in July 2011 - don't know what was wrong there.

  More liek an Auslese GK, lacks elegance a bit, delicious and fine value though.

  A private lunch (at home): Big wine, Auslese-like weight, but is somewhat deficient in structure - like many RHeingau 2006's are.

  This is very ripe, packed with tropical fruit, sweet, this is a desert wine really, and doesn't have the acidity to make it work elsewhere in a meal. Delicious though, and a good buy.
