January 7, 2020 - Just a gorgeous nose with aromas of apricot and orange preserves, sweet pineapple, vanilla pudding, ripe mango and honeysuckle. It's medium-bodied with voluptuous curves held together by slightly taunt acid, forming a luxurious mouthfeel. Flavors include mango, honeyed apricot, saline, lime zest, marzipan, vanilla bean and sweet apple. Not an abundance of depth on the finish, but it's a damn good wine that was worth the wait.

Drinkable now without hesitation. It’s a safe play. Buuuut, I think this is likely to be even better five years from now. If I had one more bottle I would definitely hold off a while. If I had two, I would drink another one pretty soon and hold the other.

July 29, 2017 - We debated whether this bottle was slightly advanced, and while there is no consensus there, we all agreed this was delicious. Medicinal herb, vanilla, and lime blossom honey all lift effortlessly from the glass, matching with similar flavors on the palate joined by an appealing underlying minerality. Rich and lush with just enough residual sugar to add balance without undue weight, the 2003 Zeltinger Sclossberg Auslese 1-star is incredible.

November 8, 2015 - Beautiful fruit in this bottle, apple, peach, and key lime, with supporting saline minerality. This would be delicious on its own, but even better with the right food, and perfect with tonight's dinner of brie-stuffed pork tenderloin in a cherry sauce, with a side of butternut squash with bacon, sage and onion.
