  Grand Sich and the Eiswein Show: One of the best mature rieslings i have had. especially at the spatlese level. Started off a touch musty but that and the kerosine blew off to reveal notes of autumnal leaves and pine needles. With time - even a bit of caramel. the palate reveals sweet fruit with spices, touch nutty, with a core of minerality. very light, and finishes with a hint of forest floor. long finish. Just an amazing experience.

  Phenomenal wine. This is everything that I want a great mature Riesling to be. The scent is an immediate wow with all sorts of developed honeyed, smoky, autumnal forestal and pine needle flavours, but beneath there's still plenty of brightness to the more youthful fruit and floral elements. The palate presence is stunning, incredibly polished and graceful with bright acids keeping it very lively, and this is just a fantastic Riesling.
