Cork was moldy on top with dark staining all up one side. I was a little concerned but the wine was beautiful. Mushrooms, petrol, wet leaves, and lime zest with a lingering yeasty/savoriness I always associate with their UW wines. So sad this is my last bottle! Still plenty of life left.

The recent MFW (mofu**inwine) review is spot on. Just a lovely and elegant auslese, sweet but lightly so given the prädikat. Very light petrol, super pure and delicious, fanning out just a little on the finish with a burnished creme caramel note. Drink now.

This is a solid off-dry Mosel riesling with an attractive nose and good minerality. It is probably just short of full maturity and could do with a few more years in bottle to better integrate the acids. The palate is less sweet than I expected from an auslese pradikat. Nice to drink, but no fireworks. I would probably score it <90 points, but I defer to the experts at Mosel Fine Wines, who have awarded it 93 p.

Just a touch too sweet for the food we were eating. Better with Cheese and Nuts. D'oh. Nice wine. Can age for 30 years more no problem.

Similar notes as before, though this bottle seemed further advanced
