November 21, 2020 - Nice nose, some ripe tropical aromas, ripe peach, low minerality; mouth is soft, a bit bland and lackluster, hasn't improved, hasn't gotten worse. This is just a boring vintage for German Riesling. Rarely do I not finish a bottle opened for 2 people, but I left about 1/3 in the bottle. However, a this paired well with spicy Thai food. Would have been better with a more lively vintage.

September 10, 2017 - Nose of apricots, mango and ginger. Fantastic mouth with plenty of apricot fruit, and a good long finish with excellent acidity. Amazing QPR wine that has held up really well compared to most 03's.

December 9, 2016 - Spicy gingerbread mango nose. Rich satisfying mouth. Good acidity on the finish with some peach and apricot. Has continued to improve each time I try it. Fantastic QPR.

October 18, 2014 - Outstanding. Has improved even further since last tasting of a couple years ago. Spicy nose, apricot and gingerbread have become intense in the mid palate and finish. Excellent finish! Wow, I'm glad I stocked up on these.

3/28/2007 (link)(Von Hovel Oberemeller Hutte Spatlese) Muddy yet very intense fruit with some not so clear flavors but a really great soft texture. Definetly an '03.
