Optik: helles, klares, glänzendes strohgelb mit grünen Reflexen nase: reife birne, honig, tropische Früchte und petrolik, durchaus mit einer frischen mineralik gepaart Gaumen : das ist eine großartig frische säure, die wunderbar von der süße eingebunden ist. Überhaupt keine schwere süße wirkt wie ein kabi. Wunderbare Textur. Langer krabbelnder abgang.

Sichuan and Rieslings (Taste of Sichuan, Beaverton OR): The nose is very giving and spring-like as it fills the glass with White flowers, peaches, green apples, pears, saline, herbs, mint, and crushed rocks. There is good depth to the nose, but it’s in a rather straightforward style. The light bodied feel has a playfulness to it and it lacks a little depth along with tart, high acidity. This has shed some of its baby fat and is moving into something more mature. I’m not sure it’s fully there yet (or will ever get “there”) and this feels like another couple of years will benefit it.

Clean, well put together and refreshing. Lighter than expected and a slighty dip mid palate. Apparently storage not great and this may have impacted but hard to point to any specific issue. Peak drinking for mine.

White peach, honey and a veritable spring garden of floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with a mixture of white apple, white peach and yellow apple and yellow peach the currently dominant fruit notes. This wine has more density, more richness and feels slightly more complete than the 2014 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese from the prior night. Excellent citrus notes and vibrant acidity provide the structure and contrast, while giving the fruit a feeling of greater definition. Already shows good balance, but this wine is just getting started. In future years, I'd expect increased integration, more fruit complexity and nuance while retaining depth and acidity. Like the Graacher Himmelreich, I'll plan to the save my next bottle for June/July 2023 to taste them alongside again.
