What a lovely Spätlese. I find it to be very true to its Prädikat, with a suave lightness and a striking balance between sugar and acidity. It's not as concentrated as it perhaps could've been, but it's not an issue, as the wine is harmonious. If you have several bottles, try one now. If you only have one, I'd wait another 3-5 years, or even 10 if you prefer mature wines.

Drinking nicely right now. Very floral bouquet on the nose, flavors of orange, apricot, honey, and white peach on the palate. Wine has moderate sweetness, balanced by moderate acidity, minerally mouthfeel that balances the acidity. Overall well balanced though a touch more acidity wouldn’t hurt. Nice wine.

Exceptional. Concentrated, but not overpowering. Balanced, but not boring. White flowers, slate, blue cheese, and loads of lemon. Great wine.

The wine has lots of lemon and some tropical fruit notes in the nose and on the palate. Nice fresh acidity and a balanced sweetness. Good length.

Really impressive with a medley of tropical fruit on a medium to long finish. Even better on the second night.
