May 10, 2020 - Nice golden yellow.
Fine and intense at nose: gold plums, gooseberries, honey and wet wood.
Full mouth, with an evident residual sugar, very well balanced by the mineral vein. Very nice dring, nor easy to pairing.
Getting more mature, but close to the best. -

May 14, 2016 - Much better than first bottle, 2 years ago.
Golden Yellow. Intense, complex and fine at nose: gold plum, honey, dried fruit.
Good body. Gliceric, some residual sugar, not disturbing, well balanced by acidity and minerality.
Nice match with spargles. -

November 9, 2015 - Bright, very pale yellow. Lifted, sexy nose of green apple, lime blossom, and crushed rock, with lurking petrol and spice. On the palate, ripe apple and rich honey are matched by tart acidity and spice. The finish is both by concentrated and long. A gorgeous auslese. Drink through 2025.

April 20, 2015 - Spicy nose of lime, apple, honey, and stone. Piercing acidity in the mouth, balanced by a full body and slight residual sugar. Wonderful.
