This wine, in 2016 bought directly from the winegrower, surpasses all expectations. It tastes like a typical, ripened Riesling selection at a very high level. Quince dominates the nose, paired with peach, honey and delicate apple. The palate shows an incomprehensible freshness with wonderful acidity for a ripe selection, especially considering the summer of 2003. Honey melons and apple are presented in a lovely way. Without any asperity, with a short, explosive final, the taste experience of this wine ends.

Great fun right now! Quince, peach, some petrol, honey, also toasty. Still very fresh with a great play of sweetness and acidity. Never appearing heavy and clumpy. Good finish with apple.

Nice tertiary notes but missing a bit more complexity, some more acidity and depth. A nice wine for the price tag.

A touch sulphurous with struck matches on the nose. Very straightforward on the palate. Good.
