A nice example of aged Auslese. Golden color. Green apple, citrus nose. Not too sweet and there is plenty of acidity to carry it. Mango, kiwi, honey, sweet lemon. Lingering finish. Drinking well, but should at least maintain for several more years.

PNP. Cork intact. this is light in color. great fruit. this has considerable acidity, but the RS is also prominent and not yet resolved. i think that this will maintain its balance and continue to resolve RS over time. will wait 8-10 yrs before i try again

Color: pale gold Nose: light-medium intensity; very floral with tropical fruit; distinctive Riesling quality Body/flavor: light-medium body; well-balanced with good acid; lush tropical fruit Aftertaste: lingering
While rating it 91 in September 2018, this bottle was not as intensive or distinctive... still a hot with Thanksgiving pies and cranberry/ginger cake!

Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 represents a very good wine.
A bit disappointing considering this was an Auslese.
This bottle had no residual sugar.
Good bottle, but not the balance I prefer.

Excellent bottle, not quite as complex as some other Auslese I have had, but still tasty.
I agree with others -- no need to rush to drink this.
