  October 29, 2022 - Retail $26. Under screw cap. It has been nearly three years since I cracked a bottle of this wine, and it is doing quite fine, thank you very much. Quite tropical on the nose with a measured dose of petrol, and a healthier splash of minerality. The palate is clean and fresh, even fifteen years after vintage, sure, it is a bit sweet, but with the ample acidity, it certainly works. Really fantastic.

  November 30, 2021 - Really pleasant and hit the spot after a very long work day. Drinks as a very young wine still. If I had another bottle, I think I would follow the MFW guidance and hold it until 2027 in order to let it gain maturity. My bottle is screwcap.

  August 9, 2020 - Pleasant and like my last note, certainly simplistic. But still charming and has a stickiness that carries the sweet (but not too sweet) notes for a long lasting refreshing finish. A food friend but still nice on its own. I enjoyed.

  January 19, 2020 - Retail $26. The last time I was in the Mosel, I visited Karl Erbes based on the suggestion of a fellow blogger who happens to be German--I figured he had to know better than most. He did. I found Karl's wines clean and focused with plenty of fruit. So when this wine came up on Last Bottle a little over three years ago, I got seven. I somehow consumed the first two without making a note, which is surprising since this is fantastic: apple and peach fruit, a touch of petrol, and steely minerality. Sure, it is fairly sweet, but that is expected from a Spätlese from the Mosel. thedrunkencyclist.com

  March 22, 2018 - Too sweet for my tastes. Ruined its complexity.
