This is excellent wine. The nose is wax, anjou pear, apple, and brown spices. Entirely composed and balanced, vibrant and fresh at 14 years old, open for 6 hours and never lost energy or focus - maybe gained. Wow, this is good wine.

Second bottle of this and it's been difficult to write a note both times because it really tightens up in the glass. It's most expressive right at the pop of the cork when it has an astounding level of precision that's practically pixellated in its stony detail, and just enough richness not to seem shrill. But it keeps getting tauter and tauter and eventually seems, well, a little shrill. But if you catch it in the right window, it's most impressive.

Well balanced, with mineral showing through. Surprisingly fresh- still drinking quite well. Very enjoyable dry spatlese.

Excellent Riesling with Chinese food. Mineral and lemon notes, with a steely quality.

Lemony fruit with the texture of chain mail... and the same sense of something sinister.
