  Compared to our previous bottle, almost seven years ago, this has settled down a bit. The flamboyant tropical fruit remains, perhaps with mango now leading the charge, but it's a bit more mellow and rounded on the palate. With that said, assertive foods are still required to keep this at bay. A tangy tamarind chicken was just about right.

  Troptisk frukt og hint av petroleum. I munnen mild sitrus, mandarin og appelsin. Deilig fruktfylde og frisk ettersmak med hint av after eight som sitter en stund.

  Nice and well balanced. Very sweet on entry with a pretty nose but lacking in depth and complexity to merit a higher score. Still, enjoyable Spätlese.

  Fairly deep golden yellow. Honeyed nose of pineapple, flowers. Very ripe palate of ripe orange, pineapple, tropicals and a bitter/tart note, perhaps of watermelon rind. The attack is quite sweet and honeyed (Auslese levels, certainly), but with good acid for balance. Ripe, fruit forward. Very good.

  Pop and pour. In the glass, deep, clear yellow-gold, verging on orange. On the nose, crushed fruit and secondary notes of sea breeze. On the palate, an explosion of tropical fruits, led by passionfruit, mango, and oranges. There is ample sweetness here, but it's the fruit that leads the way, and it borders on being too much of a good thing; this wine is going to overpower a lot of foods. Next time, I need to try this with some spicy curries.
