September 9, 2023 - Bottle presented much better than the last one. You can still notice the warm vintage, as acidity is slightly missing, but by far not as dull as the last bottle. Nice peachy flavours, balanced with mineral aromas. Good length.

September 5, 2023 - Super balanced, some tertiary notes but not that evolved for a 2011. balanced but rather low acidity. Good length

January 4, 2022 - Medium yellow gold. Canned peach, pineapple, ripe apple, light honey, light petrol, and smoky and stony mineral notes. Medium- to full-bodied, ripe and fruity, with good minerality. Creamier than expected. Great concentration and intensity. Well-balanced, with good complexity and very good persistence. Very complete. Call me crazy, but if I had another bottle I would love to try it with pizza! Will keep, but I would drink the wine now and over the next three to five years.

July 17, 2021 - 10 years after Riesling tasting - 2011 (Restaurant Waldhorn, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Sophienwald Universal
Bottle double decanted about 7h before the tasting. Bought at release, perfectly stored.
Clear, medium golden color. I am really becoming an Idig fan. Very deep and mineral. Lots of ripe fruit, broad shoulders, but not fat. Quite precise. Lots of extract. Long finish. Some upscale potential 92+1 person found this helpful Comment
