July 27, 2019 - Gesellschaft zur Förderung des restsüssen Riesling: 1. Session (Blankendorsel): No formal notes taken. Drunk after HH Spätlese 2007-2009. From a perfect cellar. Fresh as a daisy, younger than 2007-2009. Deep, vibrant, racy and long. Great experience! 94

February 27, 2011 - Tight and somewhat milky in taste on day one. Re-corked and put in the fridge. Day 2 with lunch, and its singing. Lovely peach and cherry fruit with electric acidity and a long finish that is like a razor made from fruit. Outstanding bottle - just needed to be patient.

April 25, 2009 - Oxidised. Orange in colour, stewed apple and caramel aromas - darn.

December 24, 2008 - The cork immediately had me worried, seeming a little loose and coming out with no resistance at all. The wine was deep golden, almost orange in colour, making me immediately worry about oxidation. An initial taste confirmed it - quite sweet with some honey and peach notes, but the dominant flavour is that of stale apples left out in the sun far too long. Felt flat and tired in the mouth with very little apparent acidity and a brief finish. With about a half hour of air this started to pick up slightly as the oxidative notes seemed to recede a little and some more youthful apple and spice flavours emerged - but after another half hour this was again tasting like a mix of sherry and stale apple juice. Frustrating.

September 17, 2008 - A good dose of acidity and sweetness. Also some bitterness. Pleasant, not impressive.
