This was somewhat more youthfull than my previous bottle. It was actually very well balanced, fresh and quite complex. Mature and probably not going to get any better, but borderline outstanding drinking today.

This is a very nice mature Spätlese. Excellent wine, but somewhat lacking fruit, so falls short of outstanding. Judging from the quality of the fruit this will not improve with further aging.

Pale gold. fresh grapefruit and apple honey mixed with a faint minerality. Pretty good penetration and beginning to show some complexity from age. Skips delightfully across the palate with a good but somewhat short finish. Delicious, balanced with good acid verve. I like this, terrific QPR. (89)

Very good Spatlese. Pear and honey with nicely integrated structure. Drinking well know. A winery to look out for. (17)
