  I still like the wine a lot and I am happy to stay at 93 - it is however a smaller 93 than my last bottle - the wine is now 16 years old - the wine has lost a bit acidity and is only medium - you still get the same fruit as with the bottle I had June 21 (see that rating) the petroleum is still there but is less pronounced. It is still a great wine but just not as good as the one I had in June 21.

  A really nice riesling where you get a clear idea about how proper aging can contribute positively to a wine. We’re happy to go to well deserved 93. The wine is fresh and elegant, but you can clearly sense the age (14 years) when it comes to the depth and structure of the wine - you get petroleum, lemon, some ripe pineapple and mango and hints of anise - medium+ acidity.

  Still a very nice glass - you get the petroleum nose medium acidity - on the palette you get citrus and lots of minerality and also flowers - the wine is still developing and my 92 is clearly higher than my last rating - very pleased about the wine.

  Happy to increase to solid 92 - there is just a bit more of everything compared to my last bottle from 2016 - and still a great balance - a very nice glass of Riesling.

  Nice petroleum nose - the palette is citrus and a nice minerality also some flowers - well balanced wine acidity is medium but well integrated - this wine will develop further - have had the 2001 which was great
