  February 22, 2013 - Golden colour in the glass. Beautiful nose of petrol and tropical fruit. A fair bit of ripe fruit on the palate, with nice acidity to compliment the RS. Very fresh for an old Riesling.

  August 10, 2012 - Cork was completely saturated from the bottom to 2/3 of the way up and the top 1/4 contained green mold-ish growth...all that to say the wine was still wonderful with loads of resinous fruit and mouth watering acidity. Certainly a wine to enjoy now versus holding on to it any longer.

  November 19, 2011 - Second time around with this Rheingau. Brilliant and bright in the glass. Lemon & cream on the nose. Still simple, but definitely inviting. Smooth, almost oily texture. Loads of acidic balance on this bottle, making it come off as just barely off-dry. Mushroom, stone, lemon brulee. This has a few years left in it if you like a more earthy, funky Riesling. Tasty stuff!

  November 4, 2011 - Robe jaune or d'un bel éclat. Un nez principalement sur le kerosen et le miel, un peu unidimensionnel. En bouche, très bel équilibre entre le sucre résiduel et l'acidité vive. Belle longueur et équilibre intéressant pour un vin de ce prix.
