  Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
  Popped and poured, drunk over three days. Clear, deep golden color. Clean, medium intense, developing nose. Orange zests, some floral notes, ripe stone fruit. Deep, warm and concentrated.
  This is a wine you should enjoy with food (cheese, rich sauces etc.). Due to the warm vintage it is bold and partially hot. I enjoyed it with dinner, but later without food it showed the lack of acidity and the 13,5% abv were unpleasantly hot. Nevertheless it is very round, creamy and balanced with some nice warm stone fruit and a lovely mineral core. Long, fruity/zesty finish. 89-90

  Kleur: Licht goudgeel Aroma / bouquet: Het kenmerkende bouquet van een gerijpte Riesling, een overrijpe gele appel, perzik en uiteraard oma's petroleumstelletje ofwel 'gout de pétrol'. Smaak / Afdronk: Frizure aanzet, mondvullend, dik-sappig met een romig mondgevoel. Geconcentreerd, mooie balans. Droge wijn met een indruk van zoet die vooral wordt bepaald door het mondgevoel. Indrukwekkend lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Fantastische rijpe Riesling van het nimmer teleurstellende huis Knoll. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 15 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 89/100

  Color: Light golden yellow Aroma / bouquet: The characteristic bouquet of a ripened Riesling, an overripe yellow apple, peach and of course grandma's petroleum stove or 'gout de pétrol'. Taste / Aftertaste: Frizzly attack, mouth-filling, thick-juicy with a creamy mouthfeel. Concentrated, nice balance. Dry wine with an impression of sweetness that is mainly determined by the mouthfeel. Impressively long finish. General / potential: Fantastic mature Riesling from the never disappointing Knoll house. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Taste / Finish: 15 + General / potential: 8 = 89/100

  Opened by Vino Me as part of a three-bottle 2003 Weingut Knoll horizontal. Opens with notes of pit fruit and papaya with diesel undertones. Mineral, stone and stone fruit flavors but lacking acidity, this comes across as flabby.

  Opened as part of a 3 bottle Knoll horizontal. Medium yellow color. Notes of peaches and minerals. Lighter acids. Lacks depth. Flabby. On the downhill side. My least favorite of the bunch. 82 points.
