  Star bight golden in color, thicker mouth feel for a Riesling as expected for a late harvest wine. Petrol on the nose, green apple and apricot, honey melon, straw, very floral. Let it warm up a bit to open up. I really like it despite that it is a sweet wine. Would drink again.
  The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon, apple, apricot, banana and honeydew. It tastes like stoniness and petrol. The body is light/medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

  Aromatic nose of peach and slight nectarine that carries over to the palate. Nice acid balances the residual sugar but could use a bit more acid. A nice amount of fruit is
  found in this wine. Their late harvest wines are difficult to judge when young, as they take several years to come out. They can be underwhelming when first released, then blossom. Score 86-90. Updating the score on this wine as it is improving. 89.
