Tasted with Bea, Donna and Jim Cahill at Roberto's. Noticeable age tones both on the nose as well as the in the amber color of the wine. Petrol notes and very mineral. Great mouthfeel and length. I liked it but Donna did not. Should have brought along the 2017 or 2018 Auslese....

Absolutely amazing wine with a lot of herb candy like on Christmas market with typical aged Riesling scent of petrol, but well integrated into the overall taste. That Becker Wines always have enormous minerality does not need to be mentioned anyway.

Außergewöhnlich! Perfekt ausbalanciert und nach 11 Jahren vermutlich erst am Anfang eines langen Lebens. Für knapp 40€ sensationell viel Genuss! Gereifter Riesling kann so genial sein! Love it.

On opening the wine is steely, firm and a bit closed; with exposure to air it gains volume and complexity. A classic example of a wine made by an expert winemaker from fully mature grapes of excellent provenance. Wonderful complexity and great length!

No formal tasting notes: Had it with baked halibut and it was great.
Still holding up well.
