  Nice nose, some ripe tropical aromas, ripe peach, low minerality; mouth is soft, a bit bland and lackluster, hasn't improved, hasn't gotten worse. This is just a boring vintage for German Riesling. Rarely do I not finish a bottle opened for 2 people, but I left about 1/3 in the bottle. However, a this paired well with spicy Thai food. Would have been better with a more lively vintage.

  Nose of apricots, mango and ginger. Fantastic mouth with plenty of apricot fruit, and a good long finish with excellent acidity. Amazing QPR wine that has held up really well compared to most 03's.

  Spicy gingerbread mango nose. Rich satisfying mouth. Good acidity on the finish with some peach and apricot. Has continued to improve each time I try it. Fantastic QPR.

  Cristalline citrusfruit, slate, rain water, tropical flowers, peach and apricot. Distant nuances of moldy cellarwalls. All this and gorgeous, invigorating, mouthwatering acidity. Perfectly balanced!

  Outstanding. Has improved even further since last tasting of a couple years ago. Spicy nose, apricot and gingerbread have become intense in the mid palate and finish. Excellent finish! Wow, I'm glad I stocked up on these.
