Gold. A step up in richness from a spatlese. Tropical fruits (with toasted coconut), petrol. Concentrated flavors with a spine of acidity to hold it together. Went well with bratwurst and kraut as well as Stilton.
Sweet tropical aromas. On the palate nicely sweet (no pradikat creep) with yellow fruit flavors and enoug acidity to keep everything from getting out of balance. Finishes medium -- needs a few years to truly come into its own, but rather tasty as is.

Sweet, dry, or somewhere in between, the nose here was very closed at this youthful stage. On the palate, I found weighty and rich textures with tropical fruits and a ripeness that was virtually canceled out by balanced acidity. I can imagine what this wine will open up into over time, but at the moment I can only judge it on its balance and focus of fruit, which this has in spades. (93-95 points)

Excellent - honey, herbal, spicy, thick peach but really light. Great finish - bright and fresh.
