October 9, 2019 - Popped and poured. Intense aroma of apricot and lichee, with some floral notes. Tart citrus/peach flavor, with minerals and a bit of petrol. Juicy peach finish.
Firm backbone, lively flavors, some complexity, great staying power. Approaching, or at, its prime. -

March 4, 2018 - Straw yellow. Nose of grapefruit and apricot. Vibrant acid and clean fruit. Concentrated and a long finish. Still holding on.

February 20, 2016 - Rieslingfeier Grand Tasting (New York City, NY): I'm not sure if the slightly lighter vintage makes for a better wine than in 2012. This has a touch more elegance, and some white grape flavour on the palate. At the same time, I think the age has allowed this wine to pick up a little bit more complexity in comparison to its younget sibling.

August 14, 2015 - LOF (@ MvG: Riesling): In the bouquet gooseberry and green apples. On the palate tight and focused with minerals, dry, a lot of acidity, grapefruits including the bitterness and almonds. I have the impression this is made of unripe fruits. Nevertheless a clean wine and ok if you like the acidity and bitterness. My score is 85 – 86.
