Brilliant rich golden color. 8% alcohol. Slate-driven aromatics with ripe peach/pear notes and a hint (just a hint) of petrol in the background. Really shines on the palate with satisfying depth of flavor and good ripeness yet it keeps it lean with balanced acidity. Clean finish. A delight to drink.
Outstanding.

When I had the first bottle I was far from impressed, but as is often the case with riesling, I then drank it with food and had a much nicer experience. This wine is rich and sweet as befits an '03, but does have enough acidity. Pair it with something really spicy, I had a wonderful dish of steak tips with sriracha, soy, garlic, black pepper, and lime. Those flavors went very well, and even the stir-fried veggies were very good with this.

Very Good. Light straw color, aroma and taste of wet stone, lime, and little green apple. Light body on the fruity side.

Aromas of minerals, smoke, peach and briar. Well balanced and lively finish make this a good food wine.

UWS; A mixed set of wines (@ JB): Concentrated wine with a lot of sweetness as well as acidity. Apple, apricots and apple syrup. Very good wine.
