  Vielversprechendes, komplexes Bouquet mit exotischer Frucht (Ananas), reifem Pfirsich, klaren floralen Anklängen, Honig und etwas Botrytis; am Gaumen extraktreich, druckvoll, fast voller Körper, gute Säure mit feinherber Note im langen, mineralisch geprägtem Abgang, aber auch etwas Restsüße; aktuell schön zu trinken!

  The last 4 years between bottles has been well served to say the least. Simply put, this Riesling as it all: A touch of complex sweetness arouses the taste buds, juicy star fruits and peaches, very pure and refreshing – structurally supporting acidity appears in all the right places - and then the minerality on the back half, was well, just perfect. I remember the word ‘traction’ once used in a TN regarding a wines mineral component, and it seemed very appropriate to insert that word today. I’ll defer to others if this a wine that needs more time, or is close to hitting maturity, don’t know don’t care, I’ll go with Goldilocks proclamation that ‘This porridge was just right!’

  Interested grassy nose - like the cleanest spring air you will ever smell. Some pears and peaches and a nice honeyed finish. Nicely balanced.

  Very ripe Auslese-like scent of ripe peachy and tropical fruited flavours with some honeyed elements suggesting a little botrytis; dry and focused in the mouth though not showing the same bright fruit or complexity as the aromatics suggest.
