A bit of a reduced, sulphur-like note when first opened, but this blew off with air. Surprisingly broad-shouldered and rich with ripe tropical fruit, slate, apple and peach notes; almost auslese-like in texture. Excellent persistence and very good (not great) acids. A bit of diesel, but not offputtingly so. A nice wine to sip with rich cheeses.

Good, but not as good as I remembered. Could be age or variation. Decent acidity, but not quite as sharp as I would have liked. Seemed a little flat, although good fruit. No petrol, a definite fatness, and aromas of coconut. This bottle was not a fave, but it was tasty.

Cooked. Ordered a six-pack of this, and they arrived showing signs of heat-damage; sent back. So sad. It's not like there's a large supply of this wine, and I really wish more care was taken.

Purely Delicious. It's been a while since I've had a good Spaetlese. This was so vibrant and balanced, just shear Riesling Joy. Mmm, one more.
