  Significantly sweet and moderately dense but adequate acidity and not at all ponderous. An enjoyable wine for sipping, certain. cheeses, and was good even with crab cakes.

  After the first corked bottle.
  Ripe orchard fruit, honeyed florals and red soil on the nose. It is ripe and broad on the palate with enough acidity to carry it well. More honeyed fruit orchard bordering tropical on the palate, It shows the forwardness of the vintage, but does so well without heaviness. It has a good sense of its red soil, and good minerality, very well balanced RS and acid. It's a bit lusher than my ideal spatlese, coming across as more of Auslese weight. Nonetheless, this has a degree of clarity, depth, and focus that is admirable. Finishes long. Showing youthfully very well right now. FWIW, a terrific pairing with carnitas (I find fruity red slate and porphyritic rieslings to be a great paring with carnitas).

  Quite sweet, but with excellent, lively acidity to balance it and keep everything fresh. Medium-full but light in mouth. Candied orange zest and marzipan. Not the most complex wine, but gulpably delicious. Cellared since original release.

  Very ripe and very sweet, but not ponderous. There's acidity to balance the sugar, though not quite enough for my taste. This tastes more like a GKA than a spatlese. No botrytis bitterness detected. With more acidity this would be an outstanding wine.
