  Already shows fair development, with ripe fruit aromas and sensations of wet slate. Canned peach, candied lemon, honeydew melon. Off-dry and full-bodied for a Saar riesling, with generous flavours, soft acidity and a nice salty finish. Probably best over the next two to three years.

  First impression is - wow - this is showy and delicious. Good acidity and minerality and potent apricot and tropical fruits. After a couple glasses it showed its sweetness. Minerality and acidity was retained, but less balanced. I put the last glass away for dessert!

  Generous nose of candied apricot, lime, and honey, with an emergent
  inerality. Deep core of sweet aromatic fruit on the palate, with sparkling acids precisely tailored, moving into an unctous bitter lift at the back and a very long fruit-driven finish. Opulent, harmonious, densely orchestrated. 50 + 17 + 18 + 9 = 94.

  Immediately showing off its ripe and exotic aromas, as well as generous and quite complex fruit flavours underpinned by 12,5% alcohol and 12,6 grams of residual sugar. But tonight we get the impression that the fairly mellow acidity lacks a bit of focus and precision (at least it did after Vollenweiders ultra-dry, ultra-pure 2013 Goldgrube). Initially more convincing, is it going though a less favourable phase? Hold for another two years or so?

  Came across as a little prickly at first, but the acidity settled down eventually. I've heard that 14 is a poor vintage, but other than the initial jumpiness, I really enjoyed this. Day 1: very fresh, tons of minerality. Day 2: more weight, a little flatter, still has the minerality in spades.
