December 11, 2022 - I thought in 2012 that the 2011s would develop the way the 1997s did; this is one that didn't. Lack of tight acidity to support the sugar gives and imbalanced wine that is low on energy and incision. White fruits, a bit of spice. Still young, so maybe it will show better with time, but for now . . . . Cellared since original release.

July 18, 2015 - Nice, although we both felt it was a little too sweet. Prefer the Saarburger Rausch.

January 19, 2015 - Very light in the glass. A very light wine. Not much acid left the finish a little short to my taste. I didn't get the impression that this would evolve into something special with age.
