  A fairly rich wine even by auslese standards. Some botrytis is apparent on the nose and palate, just a hint of petrol. This worked well as a compliment to dessert, I can't see using this particular auslese with a main coarse.

  (at Craft – NYC) Impressive and a very good value on the list. Rich, good ripeness with very clean fruit. Pretty long and fine. (91)

  Popped and poured. Nose showing mostly peach and apple with some minerals and botrytis. On palate this is rich wth intense RS , uncharacteristically light on acid for leitz, and the botrytis has a little bite at the beginning of the med long finish. Not my style right now. Will see if the other bottles age but plan to wait 5-10 yrs for the next one. Hopefully improves.

  One year later, and this is still available. I really dig it for the 500ML bottle. Sweet, in a dessert style. 89-91
