  Beautiful Riesling! Presents very well right now, has lost a bit of acidity, but still nice to drink right now. Intense stonefruit, coupled with good minerality. On the nose a tad sweeter than when you drink it.

  Not a perfect bottle, a bit too evolved. I had it fresher in the past. Still very good aged Riesling but could be fresher and younger. To the saltieness there are yellow stone fruits, not too ripe. A bit of honey. 92-93

  Aramasa (plus some Rieslings) (Private Cellar): PNP into 薄はり葡萄酒器 ("No" day): Deep golden to the eyes.
  
  Less dominant and more elegant fruit here. Less forward with a more balanced structure opening up nicely in the second pour.
  
  This is the best showing of this wine thus far through many samples over the years. 95 points.

  Online Blind Tasting #4: *** brief notes from online blind tasting ***
  Note is based on a tasting sip in the morning on day one, ~4cl on the evening and 0,1l filled in a bottle and sealed with argon gas on the evening of day three.
  Glass: Zalto Universal
  From perfect bottle. Clear, medium golden color, a bit deeper than the Kellerberg before. Clean, medium+ intense, developing nose. Sweet fruit, cotton candy, crushed stones. Round and balanced.
  Dry with noticeable residual sugar (or perhaps extract and sweet fruit or a combination of it). Medium+/high acidity. 13% abv. Lots of sweet, ripe yellow fruit, some herbs, very mineral. Missed the “darker”, smoky notes of the Morstein a bit. Creamy texture, lots of extract, phenolic, dense and deep. But also, round and soft, good balance. With time and air it developed a nice pressure. Long fruity and mineral finish. Even though it is a bit too sweet for my taste, it is certainly a very good GG, that can develop for some more years. 92-93+
