  Still a very golden riesling that is drinking well - I get honey, pipeapple, abricot and grape - but this no petroleum - the wine still has a very oxidative expression (mature apple and pear), which I like - still a nice acidity and a good balance - this is indeed a complex wine and I am between 93 and 94 - will go back to large 93 this time because the oxdative expression was a bit higher this time - which tells me that you should not keep this wine for to long - still have 1 bottle left.

  A great riesling that it is giving so many notes - can repeat most of what i wrote the last time I had the wine just two month ago - and can add this time a clear hint of oxidized apples that only makes the wine better - happy to stay at 93.

  Hints of honey and petroleum in the nose - you clearly get petroleum and honey on the palette also mature pear and pineapple - you get a sligt bitterness towards the end (maybe grapefruit) - good acidity (medium +) but well integrated also the bitterness just mentioned - great balance - we are increasing our rating to 93 - the wine was great when I had my last bottle in November 2018 - but is even better now.
