November 30, 2023 - From 375ml at restaurant. We had this as an alternative to dessert. Deep gold color. Rich, but not nearly as apparently sweet as I expect from an Auslese, no doubt because of the stunning acidity. Certainly sweet, but not cloying, and with a bright freshness. Complex flavors of apricot, tropical fruit, and very light petrol notes. I adored this wine. This will clearly age well and improve for years ahead. I found a few bottles for my cellar and will tuck these away for the future.

August 23, 2023 - Amazing. In a great drinking window but has life for many years of patience. Off dry. Racy and vibrant. Excited that I have more.

July 30, 2023 - First attempt was corked and palate was a bit fatigued, but this one is drinking well. Cheers. This has that excellent balance which Doennhoff is know to have.

July 10, 2023 - Developed nicely since en-primeur tasting 8-9 years ago. Accessible and rich but still in the early stages of development. Try again in 5-8 years. A good match for most fruit-based desserts / cakes (except chocolate). Works with blue cheese and will probably be a good match to foie gras.
