April 14, 2024 - More than three years after my previous tasting note this wine wasn't changed; still the same impression of a superb balance.

December 1, 2020 - Very refined, light on its feet (8%) but with great persistence and absolutely at Auslese level. Pure fruit and a perfect match between sour and sweet, elegant, refined sweetness that makes at the top a connection with the ripe acidity; long aftertaste; as Riesling as you can wish.

December 30, 2019 - Too young? I think so, a superb lingering freshness and purity; the acidity will become the balance in this wine, but at the moment there is not yet a total harmony between sour and sweet. I have some bottles and I can wait!
