    April 26, 2020 - A ripe lemon colour and nose matches with a bit of ripe zest. On the verge of demi sec and hence I think suitable for dessert or aperitif. Ripe and juicy mouthfuls of ripe citrus and hints of minerality. Finish a bit lacking

    March 21, 2019 - Light yellow with a green shimmer --- Nose fresh, salinity, herbal, citrus notes, dried apple, some grapefruit, some green pear, overall vivid, fresh and rich, some smoke, some flint stone --- Palate crisp, nice acidity, fruity, yellow fruit, citrus, some green apple, some yellow fruit, nice sweetness wrapped by yellow fruit and acidity, wet stone --- Finishes medium long on minerals, nice bitter tone and acidity. Almost 11 years of age and still appears so young, very tasty.

    April 22, 2018 - Very pleasant, off dry riesling, perfect balance, an elegant drink, soft and light, yet with character. Very lively, lots of primary fruit still here.

    July 24, 2013 - Nice yellow, golden --- Nose fresh, minerality, some flowers, some herbs, saline vapour, wet stones, yellow stone fruit --- Palate fresh, tartness, pretty strong acidity, accompanied by some oiliness, some mint, bark, cut herbs, strong minerality, almost salty, citrus notes --- finishes on tart aspects like tea or wet tobacco, minerality. It tastes so fresh and youthful, this is a tart Wiltinger Braunfels version. A nice variation to warmer vintages. Drinkable for another 3 years at least.
