  My gosh this was fantastic, the sugar has receeded and it’s such a crazy Riesling impostor. Peach pit, lemon, high acid. Bit of thyme and sage. Not a ton of secondary but the receding sugar means Id drink it now

  At first sniff I thought it was corked, but quickly realized it was just slightly oxidized and had some petroleum funkiness of an old spatlese. Gobs of acidity. Gobs! Very youthful. A bit disjointed but layers of flavors. Very interesting and a perfect geek wine.

  Found this squirreled away in the cellar - and as expected there is some oxidation on the nose after 16 years.. Getting by the oxidation the nose is mostly honey and hints of green apple - in the mouth the acidity is terrific and the wine dances around in the mouth - juicy and salivatingly good. I wish I drank this a few years ago but overall enjoyable to drink.

  Slightly gray 18k gold. Penetrating nose of pineapple, honeysuckle, botrytis. The palate is intense, concentrated yellow and white pommes and stone fruit, exotic and distinctly acidic, and mildly honey sweet. The finish is very long and mirrors the palate, fading from center to edges, and pleasantly barely bitter. We drank this for Mothers’ Day II, along with a dry Romarantin, it was very well received, especially by those who prefer sweet wine. For me, I can only sip this, it seems a very well-made wine, just somewhat overwhelming.
