Pleasant, complex mix of tropical fruit, citrus (particularly tangerine), stone fruit and florals on both the nose and palate. Light minerality and moderate acidity add structure. Medium-bodied and just off-dry, this is certainly drinking well now but should last at least through its 10th birthday.

Sweetness that made me think Spatlese, paired with I believe 13% alcohol and a fairly full body: this is nice Riesling and very much not a delicate cool-year Mosel one. Stood up nicely to Sichuan takeout. Enjoyed by all, though I suspect it might be more interesting a few more years down the line.

Impressive peach aromatics.
On the palate, overripe peach and apples, definitely a very fruit forward style. Air time brings up more smoky petrol notes.
A bit surprised at the level of RS.. the other Beck-Hartweg stuff I've had hasn't been as sweet.
This is more fat and voluptuous than it is crisp. At its best when paired with spicy food.

Floral nose with some lavender and cardamom. I expected more weight than we got on the palate. Elegant, precise, a great effort.
