Strong Riesling classic petroleum nose but also sulphur. Off dry type of wine (on the upper sweet side of off dry), large and aromatic but lacking freshness

This is basically a dry Riesling—only 11 grams of residual sugar—with considerable structure and tension. There was palpable minerality, wet stones, and lean citrus zing. Over four days the wine relaxed somewhat, leading me to think it would benefit from a few more years in the cellar.

Sulphur again, very primary. Pear fruit, honey. Quite sweet on the palate. The balance is not great at this stage, not as vibrant and fresh as most Spätlesen in this tasting. Decent finish. 86-88
