Light notes of Rainier cherry, apricot, a hint of pineapple/papaya, with the aromas and flavors matching. Young but noted complexity showing medium sweetness & medium acidity. A light/elegant but structured wine. Great now but I'll buy another and stash it to see where it is in 10 years.

Rainier cherry, pineapple & green banana; sweet but backed by loads of acidity so finishes sweet/tart. Very long finish. Way over-delivers for the price. 10.5% abv.

(J & HA Strub Niersteiner Paterberg Riesling Spätlese) Light yellow color; aromatic, white peach nose; white peach, mineral palate with medium acidity; medium-plus finish 88+ points
(Strub Niersteiner Paterberg Riesling Spätlese) ($22.00) CORE-LIST WINE. It fills out the vintage portrait; again juicy and full of stuffing yet with its typical lash of lemon grass, salt, mineral, spearmint; yet on the finish it’s as rich as a sea-salt caramel. +

Very mineral driven rather than fruit. Not particularly rich for a Spatlese.
