Beautiful deep gold, peaches, nectarine, pineapple, mango, hints of petrol, lemon curd, quite some residual sugar but with balancing acidity. Long finish. Aged Riesling is hard to beat!

This was very nice, if perhaps not quite excellent. It has lost its youthful exuberance but maybe hasn't quite evolved into something much more nuanced yet. It was beautiful for sure, nice fruit, some hints of tea in addition to the more classic Nahe riesling notes. Maybe a touch short of where I'd like the acid to be, but as a previous taster noted, the gripes are minor. This is, as one would expect, lovely stuff.

This wine was in a perfect place to my palate. Aromas of lychee, peach, maybe apricot. Teh flavors are similar. What is extraordinary about this wine is the mouth feel and balance. It posses a silky texture. It is not viscous or oily. The sweetness has mellowed to a background note. The acidity is also present but in a perfectly supportive way. It finishes long and lingers. If I awarded points this would garner 96-97, less then perfect as the fruit could be more pronounced. But this such a minor grip, it should not take away from the sheer joy this wine showed. Opened for dinner at an Indian restaurant.

At peak and with lovely off-dry balance but not as intense/complete as the Hermanshohle side-by-side.

Beautiful Spätlese at its full peak. Nothing to add to my note from 2021.
