Holy moly, this is good stuff. Burnished golden-yellow, with excellent legs. Nose has that beautiful lambswool that only comes with age, but this is especially delicate and ethereal. And the palate is a match: beautiful bruised apple fruit that evolves and evolves into a complex, suave, suave finish. This is most likely at its absolute peak of drinkability, so if you have some, drink it now before it begins to decline. This is a beauty right now, with reason to wait to enjoy. 5-13-17-9: 94/100.

10 years after Riesling tasting - 2013 (Restaurant Holz und Feuer, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Sophienwald Universal Changed the flight order to have the two baroque wines with the main course. Very bold and sweet nose. Same on the palate: bold, lots of extract, phenolic, sweet, dense and deep. Good length. Needs probably a decade more to blend in all its components. 91-92+

Took a while to open and initially not as chilled as I would have preferred This was much better later in the evening as both initial shortcomings were remedied Really love these wines

Lunch at Batard: Wanted to share this producer since most people don't have much experience with Austrian Rieslings. For me this is a ridiculous value given that you can get the top plot of the top producer for under S$200. Took time to open up but when it did it showed a beautiful balance with layers of honeyed fruit without being too sweet. Loved the generosity of the mouthfeel, but wasn't too heavy unlike the warmer vintages. Unanimously the favourite white of the lunch.

This really is a terrific Riesling. Color deep yellow but I find the wine to be very dry but deep intense flavors. Absolutely gorgeous over 2 nights and wonderful fruit and acid....could drink this all night, especially if somebody else is buying. 94
