  BYO Centropa (Centropa, Oslo, Norway): Lys strågul farge. Kellersk duft med moden gul frukt og svakt tropiske toner som av ananas/ananaslake. Ren, behagelig og pent utviklet smak med god modning. Ren struktur med god konsentrasjon, fin syre, noe restsødme. Behagelig avslutninsvin og ypperlig til faste oster.

  Just as fun as last bottle. Don't think this needs more aging but can probably surf safely in your cellar for another half decade.
  Petroleum and orchard fruit and on the palate there is some saffron which I really enjoy. The alcohol is not disturbing but if you drink it like a spätlese from Mosel you will get drunk about twice as fast.
  Oily but not at all disturbing, it is complex and has depth. Good wine. I just wonder why I see pictures of this wine with either the white label or the brown label (which is the one I had).

  Very aromatic with ripe fruit, a distinct residual sweetness on the tip of the tongue, but finishes almost dry. Opens up even more with time, showing ripe, juicy stone fruit together with a refreshing acidity.

  Nose takes some time to wake up. Ripe orchard fruit, slightest of petroleum. But it is the palate that impresses. Lovely structure and balance, and there is a slight bitter streak that frames the wine in a sophisticated fashion. There is saffron, which I find only in better rieslings. Sugar well balanced, but evident, and alcohol much more evident than in the Zilliken spätlese and Selbach Oster kabinett we matched it against. Nonetheless impressive wine.

  Probably the wrong time to drink as its in an awkward stage between fresh and mature, but very good and clearly going to get better. I don't think it lacks in acidity like some have commented- I found it to be pretty zippy and tense with a lot of pineapple and green apple fruit. I'd wait 5-15 years if you have it, will mellow out and gain complexity and deliciousness.
