Nose with citrus, apple and an impression of ripe fruit, some mineral and now with some petroleum notes showing maturity. Dryish but far from bone dry, and I have believed this to be a halbtrocken. Medium-bodied fruity palate dominated by citrus, some apples, hints of yellow plums and tropical fruit, good acidity, some mineral, and a citrus-dominated aftertaste. A tiny bit of spritz showing in the glass. Quite good for a regional QbA, but that is of course to be expected from this producer. The ripe 2009 vintage has probably only benefited this wine, since there's a lot of fruit but good balance due to good acidity and citrus notes dominating, and I have to say it has developed quite well. Could probably give many Spätlese trocken a good match. 88 p. Can be saved for several more years if you enjoy the petroleum notes.

Rubber gloves, gasoline, rubber balloons. Some citric background. on palate the citric notes are very present with lime, lemon and even grapefruit. Good length, refreshing with a touch of residual sugar (very dry still).

Virkelig lækker, en anelse sød selvom det er en trocken (dry) men det passer godt til asiatisk mad.
