  My 3rd and last bottle. This still had a medium straw color and was not gold at all. The fruit was still pronounced with some tropical notes with apple and minerals. Low to moderate acidity. Another wine which would have been better consumed prior to 2016. 86 points.

  With Indian food and in celebration of daughter’s 21st coming up this week. More of a wine drinking than a wine tasting occasion, and this wine made for good company.

  Graceful, and twenty years after the vintage seems to have plenty of life left. Soft but not flabby, baked orchard fruits — peaches, apples, pears — also some pineapple and orange. A whiff of woodsmoke on the nose, but not really any sign of it on the palate. Paired perfectly with a salad of mixed greens, pears and candied pecans, but continued to pair nicely with lobster rolls as well.

  At open, peaches and apple on the nose, very pleasing. PnP sip was not what I expected. I had thought this would be sweeter than the kabinetts ive had, but it was the same as, or less sweet, than those. The acidity and sweetness seemed blended together, with the acid still noticeable but not "sharp" or "precise " like in the 2019 sonnenuhr I had last Friday. the body had this somewhat dense sensation that was very pleasing. Not too complex, but nice fruit.
  More citrus than on the nose and some minerality, pronounced lemon towards the tail end. Very glad I found these.

  I’m with Bhouk on this one. It’s lovely. Golden color which hints at the maturity of this pure, balanced and refreshing wine. Interesting to taste after the two trocken wine. The aroma profiles are so similar: green melon, white peach and honey. There is a distinct red fruit profile as well - strawberry. Very quaffable, mature and pleasant drinking. Lacking depth and layers. I don’t see it improving. Drink over the next few years. The nose is the winner here. (90)
