September 22, 2022 - Spices, white apple and pear on the nose, with tropical qualities and peach behind as it warms. Between light and medium bodied (9% ABV) with rounded white peach upfront, moving to golden peach and yellow apple through the middle. There's good depth through the middle and a nice blend of tropical qualities is starting to show up on the backside. Moderate acidity and lightly tart citrus contribute contrast and structure. Showing well now, but with enough future potential that it's worth holding until at least 2023. It doesn't have vibrant acidity, so it's not along term hold, but with a bit more time, it should open up quite well.

August 15, 2020 - Young, yes, but this is nectar-tasty and interesting to the bottom of the bottle. Lively acid to balance tropical fruit and green apple. Lots of upside with age.

January 19, 2019 - Sulfury fumes on the nose. Hits the palate with auslese power - not in terms of sweetness, but on account of its weight class and punch. The sweetness is actually quite nicely dialed back and this doesn't turn into fruit juice on the table like so many spats do these days - it stays crisp even when it loses its chill. The fruit is on the edge of ripe, lemony but more rind than flesh, so the sweetness serves it nicely. Sealed with a Diam cork - thank you.
