Tasting at Reinhold Haart: Some maturity on the nose, hint of caramel and Asian spices, quite full bodied, lacks a bit of freshness, emerging complexity.
Medium yellow-gold color. Medium intensity nose for a mid-life M-S-R Auslese: apple, coconut meat, hint of fusel oil. On arrival, significantly sweet, creamily-textured, fat, with lower acidity than typical. Flavors are good and clear, a great match to the nose, being both straight-forward and yet somewhat lacking the special delicacy often presented by the house, from this site. Bottle #2 of three.

A nice reminder that I really need to drink more from Reinhold Haart; this is drinking stunningly well now with a spectrum of bright Riesling fruit ranging from fresh apples to riper peachy/nectarine flavours with floral, slatey and honeyed accents. It's very sweet, bright and luscious as expected from Goldtröpfchen, yet it's all too easy to drink with really good acidity balancing the sweetness well and keeping it very refreshing, with each sip inviting another.

Fantastic. Rich and golden-complexioned but still sharp and bracing in its structure.
