Light to mid gold. Maturing Riesling nose. Lovely zingy acidity on the attack and forming a spine through to the finish. Some grapefruit pith alongside a sense of something more tropical. A touch of RS. This has slimmed a little since a previous bottle 11 years ago and the weight and acidity have swapped around. Good. ***1/2

Not altogether different than last time. Cork a little crumbly but intact. Has great fruit density, still showing RS but the acid gives it levity. Holding up better than the recent schlossberg that I tried. I am looking forward to further maturity and will wait at least 5yrs to try again.

Salil in town (Chicago, IL): Nose: The nose is giving and fragrant with stone fruits, pears, mineral tones, peaches, white fruits, and some honey notes. There is excellent depth and balance that shows off some of the age, though it is still extremely fresh.
Taste: Medium bodied with high acidity. The acidity is crisp with there being good weight and balance to the feel along with stone fruits, pears, peaches, minerals, mangoes, and some honey.
Overall: This is a lovely Spatlese that is starting to enter into maturity. There is a freshness to the fruit that still shows off some youth to where this feels like it can age for a good amount of time.
