Had 5 so checked in on one. Consumed over two evenings, stayed pretty consistent both nights.
Nose shows tropical fruits, white flowers and wet rocks. On the palate this is very fruit driven with mandarin orange, lychee, and white peach over some limestone. It's got a richness to it and I wish it had a little more acid but as a Spätlese it seems appropriate with a little RS.
Enjoyed especially given the price point of low 20's.

"Modern old school" Spatlese. I know that doesn't make sense, but this wine shows the richness of the modern era that seems to have since shifted, so that's where the old school comes in. There's a lot of fruit here, as well as a fair dose of the 2021 vintage acidity, but it's not a lightning bolt like some 2021 wines. I think this may very well have a long aging window.

Very nice. Less thrilling than the Steinmetz served beside it, but this has a very long and enjoyable life ahead of it.
