  April 6, 2024 - Very rich and honeyed, with apricots, peaches and floral notes. A bit less acidity than the last time I had this. Somehow I feel I should have drunk this sooner.

  May 8, 2023 - Just heaps of stewed apricot, fresh peach, and orange zest. Luckily with a citrus-driven acid backbone. Not too dissimilar from a good Madeira. Wish I drank this with folks who know dessert wine better than I do — I worry that some of the overwhelming charm discussed in some of these reviews was lost on me. Lovely nonetheless.

  June 11, 2022 - Fantastic. A bit of honey and dried apricots creeping in as this ages, but this is still fresh and lifted. Great impact on initial palate entry and thrilling, lengthy finish. Superb.

  February 12, 2022 - KYD #2.1: It is very difficult to really write a note for such an amazing wine. It are lots of complex exotic fruits but in a restrained and elegant way.
  There are some lemon fruit showing nicely but also some white flowers and a touch of botrytis. It is such a light and restrained wine that it is easy to forget that this is also a very serious and complex wine.
  There are so much balance that it is amazing to keep going back to.
  I have been debating a lot about what score to give this wine but while reflecting over my notes, I have only one option as I don't see any Eiswein ever being better than the performance of this bottle.
  This is absolutely a stunning and perfect wine which was also seconded by MG at the actual tasting.

  August 6, 2020 - Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Summer tasting (Asperg): Clear, medium-deep golden color. Very fresh, young and intense nose of rhubarb, quince, acidity, mineral notes. Dense and complex.
  Oily texture, very good balance of sweetness and extreme, but wonderful integrated acidity. Lots of Rhubarb and exotic fruit. Great tension. Very juicy and round. Still very young. Looong and lingering. Potential for at least 2 more decades. 94-95+
