  In a stunning place. Dark gold with an explosive nose of dried tropical fruits, hints of petrol, and heady jasmine. Palate has density, but also energy, with passion fruit, lemon tea, dried peaches, and crushed rocks. Acid holds the whole thing together, but never jumps out at you. This has at least another five years, but I don't see how it can get more delicious.

  NOSE: medium-strong petrol; stone fruit (white peach); hint of honey; typical moderately-aged Riesling aromas.
  
  BODY: amber color; medium-full bodied.
  
  TASTE: medium to medium+ acidity; moderately aged; very nice, but not stunning; proper Spatlese --- perhaps even starting to dry out a bit; orange; a bit zippy; pleasant underlying mineral note. This always has been, and probably always will be, more understated than it is brash. Drink or Hold.

  Enjoyed this initially some petrol that blows off leaving some beautiful darkening yellow tropical fruit with very subdued yet supportive minerals, generous attack with and elegant acidity popping on the mid palate really satisfying finish

  PnP. Darkening gold suggests the age. Enough petrol on the nose to keep it honest. Sweet lemon Pineapple with the right acidity backing it up. Slight mineral undertone. Medium plus weight. Delicious, wish I had more.91-92

  At first, this had a slightly maderized character and seemed sweet and intense like an Auslese. Six days later it appeared to be fresher and more classic. Not quite sure what is going on.
