February 22, 2020 - Light and refreshing! High residual sugar imparts significant sweetness that balances out the fairly high acidity of the wine, and in fact it reminds me quite a bit of German Rieslings from the Saar River. Ripe green apple with a side of citrus notes. While I prefer HJW's dry Rieslings, the wife certainly enjoyed this bottle when we shared it. I strongly recommend this bottle for anyone who is a fan of semi-dry whites.

Open 2 days: Crisp Macintosh apple nose. Lots of minerals, plenty of acidity, only a hint of sweetness. Delicious wine that should age for at least another decade. -

August 24, 2016 - Really had the makings of being special but somehow it falls a bit short. The taste is there. Apples, pineapples and a touch of melon. It's Spatlese sweet and very food friendly. Pretty bouquet and a long finish, but it's lacking a touch of distinction and winds up without the complexity to get it to the next level. Still, it's a serious wine with a decent QPR, but it could have been a real contender.
