Didn't take notes, but I really enjoyed this last night. A beautiful nose and flavours including mango, pineapple and lime. There a nice lift on this sweet wine via the healthy acidity. Lovely now, but will last many years yet. Sorry it's the last bottle, as of course it was the best (A-)!

Hazy notes from last night. Lots of honeyed pineapple, mango and nectarines on the rich palate. A bit more acidity would be nice, but still a very nice wine with good concentration and harmony. Just starting to come together, but will last years yet (A-).

A lovely young wine drinking well now. Lovely slatey and tropical fruit nose, and very honeyed on the medium-full palate, with a mix of citrus and more tropical fruit and minerals. Despite the honeyed taste, there was nice balance to the wine, a reflection at least in part by the 'classic' vintage in 2004. Drink or hold, glad to have two bottles left (A-).

(Schloss Lieser Niederberg Helden Spatlese) This was crisp and clean with lovely purity and flavors of lemon and peach flesh. Ther were lovely aromatics of slate, pink grapefruit and damp earth. Lovely acidity and crispness with great depth of fruit. Still has many years to go but there was no Lieser sulfur stink. I really thought it was going to be there and was pleasantly surprised when it was not.
(Schloss Lieser Niederberg Helden Spatlese) Opulent nose of white peaches in their juice and caramelized brown sugar. Rich, concentrated palate with tons of ripe peach flesh backed up by crisp acidity. Long.

Good and classic mix of mineral and apple fruit. Just starting to develop but this is still a young wine.
