 Tasted by Philpot on 1/25/2010 & rated 88 points: (50 views)
 Tasted by Canuck on 11/4/2009 & rated 90 points: (114 views)
 Tasted by french16 on 7/3/2009: With sushi.
Nice nose with petrol notes along with stone fruits. Medium body, obvious RS with fresh acidity. Green apples, apricots and a touch of exotic fruits with a medium finish.
Too young right now, needs another 5-6 years. (213 views)
 Tasted by Anonymous on 5/24/2009 & rated 88 points: Not giving up much on the nose, but great balance of sweetness and acidity with a slight spritz and a lingering finish. (231 views)
 Tasted by Medo on 7/24/2008 & rated 92 points: What a beautiful Spätlese from Spreitzer. Good amount of fruit (mostly peach with some passion fruit and other tropical elements), good complexity, creamy mouthfeel, great balance between acidity and sweetness and a touch of minerals. Well rounded and absolutely delicious! Scored it with a + for further development. (361 views)
 Tasted by Vino Me on 7/22/2008: This wine comes from a small part of the Oestricher Lanchen vineyard called Eiserberg. The name 303 refers to Oechsle level reached by the grapes in this vineyard in 1920 to make a TBA. That sweetness level was a record must-weight for Rheingau Riesling until the wines of the superipe 2003 vintage came along. The 2005 was picked at 105 Oechsle and was bottled as a goldcap wine.

 Tasted by Jack on 6/30/2006 & rated 91 points: Terry Theise Wines: Nice. (1664 views)
 Tasted by Mlermontov on 6/20/2006 & rated 92 points: Terry Theise Tasting 2005 (W): yup - a pure rhein wine...i was getting worried that Spreitzer was just pretending to be in Rheingau and was actually in Pfalz (he does have a jesuitengarten wine...) this is masculine, powerfull wine with tons of complexity (1756 views)
