Opened one hour in advance. Faint aroma of apricots. Pure rich mineral honey apricot flavors. Full apricot vanilla finish. Sweet, pure flavors, good depth, some complexity, slightly flabby. Really good, but needs more backbone.

I was warned that it was too early to drink this bottle, but I plowed forward and was disappointed. Seemed flabby and cloyingly sweet - just not enough acidity for me. Nevertheless, it seems to have good bones and should improve with cellaring.

Pretty sweet, even for a German Riesling. Nice dessert wine. Could pair with spicy Asian food.

Sweetness is somewhat unbalanced (by acidity) slightly syrupy. Overall decent
