December 26, 2022 - Drinking super well after being open for 24hrs. The acidity is ripe but brazing, very lively. Drink one now and save the rest.

July 13, 2021 - Really good, especially on day 2. Great acidity for the vintage, well balanced RS, very enjoyable. Will be even better in a few years.

February 27, 2021 - First tasting of the 2018s. I found this (unknown to me) producer for a reasonable price and was intrigued. Verdict is consistent with prior reviews: very nice but will need time for sure. Displays a pale yellow straw color out of the bottle with low viscosity. Nose is very nice - densely packed with lots of fruit, candied lemon, baking spices, and a hint of burnt match. Palate is great - nicer weight than I was expecting - but at this stage, the wine is just simply too fruity. Even though the acidity was just medium, I really think this needs to lay down for at least 5 yrs to integrate well. I know that young spatlese border on dessert wine but I don't think that's what this is meant be. A fully mature version of this will offer more complex, perhaps even savory, elements and almost definitely merit a higher score.
