Nose is somewhat muted, but tastes delicious. This is a sweet and fruity spatlese. Not a lot of mineral character, but very refreshing and enjoyable. Plenty of life left in this wine, though I don't know that it will develop any more complexity, as it is fairly simple. I paid $13 for this wine back in the days when Premier Cru delivered on its orders.

I very much agree with JOEABR's tasting notes (8/16/11).
A nice apply, slightly sweet piney nose.
Very good balancee of acidity, tartness, depth, body, minerality, along with flavors of persimmon, peach, and dominant star fruit in a nice integrated mix. Med/full body, smoth texture, long finish!
Long finish . . . 'twas a tad sweeter than I liked, but still very enjoyable.
Had it with an spicy asian pad thai dish. Very good pairing! Mmmm!
SCORE: 92-94

Very satisfying, perfectly balanced Spatlese. Love the grapefruit and slate notes on the finish. Can't believe I paid $13 for this wine.
