This really hasn't budged much in the last five years under screwcap. Light gold color. Some dissolved C02 obscures the aromas at first and gives the palate a spritzy feel. But a vigorous shake in the bottle (or a splash decant) releases the gas and clears everything up. Yellow apple and peach on the nose - nicely typical for the Nahe, but not especially complex. Noticeably sweet on the palate, with the zesty acidity of the vintage. I don't find this particularly mineral, but it is very satisfying and fun.

Dr Wine nailed this one below: full of round peach fruit with a fresh zing of limey acidity holding things in place. Just beginning to show some depth from age, but the big fruit is still prominent. Drinking well right now.

WOTD. The competition? Castle Rock Pinot Noir, Coke, Margaritas and New Belgium beer. So, I'll take the win.
Entering into the next chapters of its life, with a yellow gold color and subtle, but very attractive stone fruit and lychee aromas. Medium-bodied, gently layered with lively acids and good freshness. A joy to drink. recommended, thru 2018, 9,5% abv
This was quite delicious with yellow fruits, citric acidity and the saline minerality that I love these wines. You still get a one level upgrade in weight and fruit but I think the acidity and minerality may be making some progress here as time goes by.

Pot-luck Thanksgiving. Sigh.

Light color. Dripping with peach and lime. A hint of sugar, some cherry on the palate and then a torrential mineral finish. Delicious!
