May 3, 2023 - PNP. Cork leaky to top but wine underneath intact. Color is light gold. Nose w citrus vanilla cream pineapple and herbs. Swishing shows great acidity but it is creamy and polished and balances the RS. Sipping shows a simple palate - finish med length and balanced. In a great spot but will continue to evolve w time. So happy with this

November 28, 2020 - Leaky cork. This one took me totally by surprise. I was expecting more RS based on last experience but it has mostly resolved. This is in a great place and fully mature. Will drink over next year or two

November 1, 2014 - Good bottle, although not quite what I thought it would be. Upon opening, there was not much sugar present, and the tastes were somewhat muted. Interestingly, the next day, it was meaningfully improved. Perhaps I opened it too early.

December 29, 2013 - PNP. Brief note - this was really quite good...plenty of acid structure in support of the very ripe mostly primary fruit and moderate RS. my guess is that this will go for a long time. will wait awhile to try again

7/18/2008 (link)(BERT SIMON Ser Wurz SPATLESE) 1998 German Dear Friends, We offered this wine a few years ago, directly from Bert's cellar (his personal stash) and we've been getting re-order requests ever since. It was one of the deals of the year in 2006 and it remains in the same league today. A ten year old Spètlese (at or near peak) from one of the good-guys in the wine industry ? When current release 2007's of comparable worth will be $30+ and require another decade or more to show themselves, the price seems a little silly. I put my money where my mouth is with this one - I started with two cases of this wine in 2001 and it keeps surprising me with each bottle opened. It is just a delightful bottle of aged Spatlese with a lovely bouquet and fine, elegant soil tone - there's not much to say. We are only getting this additional lot (at basically the original release price) because of a personal favor I cashed in. While you can, please take advantage of my strep-throat fog in underpricing this item (I'm sure any other US listings for this are at least $35-40 and they are not directly from the library cellar): (you can disregard the "Drink now through 2005" note, the wine has barely reached it's peak) Look up whatever additional TN's you need to on this - I'm sure others have enjoyed it as well... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a crazy value and great opportunity to enjoy an aged bottle of German Riesling. ONE FINAL SHIPMENT - directly from he source with perfect provenance: 1998 Bert Simon Serrig Wƒrtzberg Riesling Spatlese (Saar) (this is NOT the Kabinett) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Germ9973
