Paired nicely with spicy yogurt-marinated chicken kebabs and green lentils. Notes of lightly sweet apricot, honey and quince in perfect harmony with racy, lime-drenched acidity and a hint of lanolin. Lovely.

I've gone through half a case of this over the last 9 months or so, and I've become pretty familiar with it. But there's an almost earthy/dusty aroma it has after a little air in the glass that I can't quite put my finger on, but which I find really compelling. Never experienced that in a Mosel Riesling before. The fruit on the nose is running towards the scent of red currant jelly for me, which is also very attractive to me. There's a bright acidic streak underneath the light sweetness here, making this extremely versatile with food. Wish I would run across another case, or that more recent vintages would turn out as well.

Another delightful bottle. Pronounced apple and herb aromas, on the palate this is beginning to show some more mature flavors: a prominent note of quince jelly that balances the burnished fruit with tangy acidity. Moderate sweetness and integrated acids.

A bit richer than my bottle two years ago, but still with great balance and seeming to have plenty of life left in it.

Sweet lemon curd aromas, a bracing acidity on the palate, and a racy, limey finish. Nice bottle.
