Pale to medium gold color. Fairly feint aromas of green apples, white flowers and honey on the nose. Medium body, crisp acidity. There's peach, apple, honey, citrus and tart acidity at the back end. The wine is sweet but not at what one would expect at the Auslese level. Moreover, not nearly as unctuous as I recall, and overall thinner and more crisp than last tasted. Still enjoyable, if a different experience.

More pleasant and drinkable/enjoyable than my score would suggest. Lacks sufficient acidity but is still not cloying as the sweetness has dried out a lot with bottle age and the overall weight of the wine is on the light side. Great now as an aperitif, but I wouldn't count on this to "hold up" to Asian food (maybe seafood?). A little one-dimensional -- lacking in character and complexity....but otherwise fully functional wine.

{375ml, cork, 7.5%, AP 54 03} And another disappointment with this wine. Medium-dry apple-ish flavours are still overwhelmed by a brown staleness; it’s light-medium bodied and just manages a medium-length finish, but it’s just too oxidised to be very interesting. Hadn’t obviously leaked at all; the cork looked sound, but if this is typical (as it has been for me) this is a wine fading fast. My last bottle, thankfully.
