Opened one hour in advance. Apricot pit aroma with a bit of funk. Flavors of beeswax, stone fruit, minerals. Citrus and mineral finish.
This has evolved into a complex, subtle, and still vibrant wine. It's what one looks for in mature riesling (though it is also reminiscent of mature Loire Chenin Blanc, thanks to that beeswax). In any event, this is drinking beautifully right now. Possibly at its peak, but certainly no signs of decline.

Lime and apple on the nose, brisk palate but with some warmth and waxy weight to it, though it seems pretty dry, that marks it as Pfalz not Mosel. Classy.

Louis/Dressner Tasting with all the Winemakers (E&R, Portland, OR): Rich aromas compared to the preceding wines, offering a more forward impression of sweetness. Quite nice. Again forward and more obvious on the palate, but in a good way. Getting a bit of funk and nice candied cantaloupe. Nice funky tartness on the finish.

Eh. A little tired, lacking the sparkle of other Pfalzers from 2010.

Deep color. Honey, floral notes on the nose. Waxy and viscous feel. Lot going on for the price. I'll be looking for more.
