 Tasted by Thoughtful on 7/7/2020 & rated 93 points: Aged riesling bouquet. Lovely balance and marvellous length. Excellent acidity. Riesling through and through. Reminded of a 1937 riesling auslese tasted in the '80's. Probably the nearest you will get of a 19th century
Old Brown Hock. Will last for decades if properly cellared but probably not improve. (335 views)
 Tasted by feliperf on 10/20/2019 & rated 87 points: I'm not very fond of sweet wines, but Sauternes, Tokaj, PX Sherry, Portos or this nice Riesling from the Antipodes are very special wines... (453 views)
 Tasted by acyso on 3/1/2019 & rated 88 points: A farewell to Tooch (Chicago, IL): From half-bottle. It's clearly late harvest riesling from the fruit profile and acidity, but the floral elements on this wine are completely off the charts. This is definitely dessert-level sweetness too, and there's the requisite acidity to balance it out. There's a slightly different flavour profile than I'm used to (mostly it's the florals), but this could probably hold its own against its fair share of Mosel producers. (1445 views)
 Tasted by rossi.wine on 7/2/2018 & rated 88 points: Very perfumed on the nose - honey, flowers, dried fruit. Fresh, a bit soapy, rich, medium length. 87-89 (752 views)
 Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 8/3/2017 & rated 90 points: A private dinner (Restaurant Sat Bains **, Nottingham, UK): Waxy, fresh, sweet, peach, bright acidity, energetic, long. (1193 views)

Seifried Riesling Sweet Agnes Winemakers Collection

Luscious honeyed Riesling named after Agnes – mother of winemaker Heidi and winery manager Chris. The family's pride and joy displays complex flavours of ripe lime, passion fruit and rosy apple with a swirl of light honey. Simply gorgeous.
