  Quite mature and fat nose with yellow fruits, honey, wax some tropical notes and very lovely, balanced petrol tone. A nice nose.
  Full-bodied, off-dry, fruity palate with honey, pineapple, wax and (surprisingly) some dark chocolate. Nice acidity, some grip and quite harmonius in the mouth. On the right side of my petroleum tolerance - it sneaks in the shadows. Main objection is some lack of acidity and a little clumsiness. Drinks splendid now, if you like petrol on your Riesling, keep for a few more years.

  Beautiful wine; brilliant yellow colour. Forward lemon, honey, tangerine with white flowers and just a touch of petrol; 24 hours later even more forward and complex. Palate is intense and focussed; great acidity to match the notable sweetness. Still a youngster. Easy another 3 to 5 years to peak.

  Light golden color, but no sign of oxidation; Pretty nose of faint white flowers and honeysuckle, then lovely, medium depth, steely fruit, excellent acidity, turning crisp and dry on the finish. A very enjoyable bottle, a bit straightforward and missing a little length on the finish, but a strong showing. Barely showing its age after a decade, could go another decade at least.
  
  24 hours later: holding beautifully, not much change, though the intensity and length of finish have gone up half a notch. A really nice bottle.

  Really impressive wine. Marvellous bouquet. Rich, mouth-filling and a wonderful silky texture. Extraordinary length with charming after-notes of honey and spices.
