  This was holding up very well. Very good balance. Nice texture. Medium to long finish.

  Still in good shape. Off dry, plenty of new world Riesling character. Probably could've used a touch more acidity. Not bad, but pretty unremarkable.

  Retail $18. Under cork. I am pretty sure that I have been a fan of this wine since its introduction around the turn of the millennium (OK, maybe not that long) when Dr. Loosen approached the fine people at Château Ste. Michelle about a possible partnership. I am not sure, but this might be the sixth or seventh vintage of this wine I have tried and it has been remarkably consistent. I guess it would be considered off-dry, but the sweetness (which is certainly perceptible), is by no means cloying, and works quite well, in fact. Oodles of fruit, even eight years out, with notes of petrol and honeysuckle. Wonderfully balanced and a delight to drink, this is always a hit with my mother-in-law, which makes it a no-brainer.

  Another great bottle of this; excellent salinity and balance. Very long and impressive! Almost a year (to the day) since last bottle.

  This is shockingly good for $15! If served blind I would have guessed a decent 10 year old Spatlese. Delicious!
