March 16, 2023 - Lys gulgrønn. Duft av modne sitroner og sitronterte. Mineralsk, fokusert og ren, moden Riesling. Tørr, knust stein og lys honning. Virker å ha mistet noe syrlighet, men fortsatt frisk og deilig kompleks.

January 17, 2022 - Decanted at maybe 4pm and back into the bottle soon after, as the aromas seemed ready - decanted again right before serving at 7:30. Lovely on the nose with fresh and pure scents of apricots, geranium, and mineral, but on the palate the wine seems like its best days have passed, in that the acidity is not as punchy as it was several years ago and the wine seems less energetic. I saved half the bottle, skipped day two, and on day 3 it was much better, more complete and harmonious and with better acidity and balance. This needs a lot of air - more than I gave it, to show best on the day its being served.

November 3, 2017 - Fantastic showing. Beautifully aromatic, with stone, honey, citrus pith, herbs, and other things that I cannot name. So focused and controlled, such clarity and intensity. The palate is balanced and graceful. There were a lot of very illustrious wines on the table and everyone came back to this one, amidst all that.

March 22, 2017 - TT(W)TG (brief notes, blind wines) (Enfield): Light tropical fruit nose. Palate of lime, stone, and herbs; quite understated though. Waiting to emerge, I suspect. Nice.

2011 Austrian Catalog, 5/1/2011 (link)(Nikolaihof Riesling Steiner Hund "Reserve") ($81.00) Of course this is a first offering. 5 weeks in bottle when I was there, so the muted aromas weren’t surprising. But the palate was suddenly stunning, rather like the great ’05, a cool creamy fruit over a molten core of mineral. You taste the gleam of the mica. The wine gets more forceful with air. An entire Royal Court of Riesling nuance, highlighted by wintergreen and glittering tiny stones. It penetrates every scilla of the soft palate, and it makes you want to leave the table, glass in hand, find some sweet Spring woods, and go walking.
