Followed the 2005 Schramsberg Reserve. While not at the same level, it wasn't as far off as I expected. The color was bold and deep, the nose also with apple compote, lemony acid, brioche and mild oxidative flavors.

These are so dependable. Rich fruit available out of the gate. The apple compote here is so flavorful and deep. Wish I could find more of these. The local shop here is now carrying 2017 as the oldest vintage.

Pours a pale 10k gold. Nice mousse but sparse bubble action in glass. Nose is gorgeous, baked lemon meringue pie, slight pear and guava. Palate is luscious, lemon, pineapple juice, honey, vanilla. Acid is medium high, and sings with food (lemon tilapia), also cuts any of the sweetness and leads to 15 second finish. Ending reminds me of cotton candy aftertaste/fragrant light caramel.

Dark gold in color. Nose of yeast, pineapple, and lemon. Flavor of orange blossom, slightly tart with a dry finish.

Still drinking great, with lovely baked pastry, vanilla and apple notes. A little less lemon acid than the last bottle, hence 1 fewer point.
