Deep golden, with sweet scents taking you to lemon and also exotic fruit like mango. The nose could indicate residual sugar, but there is none as this is a dry wine. In the mouth it tastes a good deal drier than the aroma suggests. A fine harmony all the way through. With a bit of internal division, I finally settle on "outstanding." The residual rough acidity of the previous bottle is all gone.

Took it for a GV due to its floral aromas. Otherwise, some sweet fruit a la rhubarb. Light and elegant on the palate, and different from other vintages that have been quite heavy on the palate.

Deep golden - beyond the proverbial wedding ring, and a slight green tinge to boot. In the mouth it is notably viscous with good weight, but the acidity is a tad too rough for it to qualify as harmonious. The aromatics are clearly those of a mature Riesling, with sweetened lemon peel over hard cheese. Decent length. It's the somewhat rough acidity that makes me a little bit reserved here. I've had better from this address. (NOTE: I have calibrated my points to better fit the description of the 100-point scale - and not the inflated one mostly in use now.)

A beautifully complex wine that is drinking perfectly now. Rich and sweet initially in the mouth, the acidity cleans it out and leaves it dry. A wonderful success and went really well with the sweetness of red mullet.

Golden yellow. Aromas of ripe grapefruit and pineapple. Full bodied and masculine, and quite coarse and rancid, with high acidity. A bit disappointing for an Achleiten.
