PnP, chilled. Not as sweet as expected, maybe a bit sweeter than a Spatlese. The medium to plus palate showed some peach, plus touches of apricot, honey and minerality. The acidity put the wine in balance, and the fruity finish lasted quite a while -- with only a touch of petrol, and no bitterness. Overall, a very pleasing wine that probably works better with spicy food than with dessert. Should hold for at least a couple of years.

Off dry enough to be considered a dessert wine. Smooth and rich on the palate, bright gold in the glass. Smells of honey, orange and pear, and jasmine rice. I've read a few reviews that mention botrytis and I can see where that is coming from.

Beautiful golden color. To the nose, apple and peach. On the palate, apple and yellow peach as standout notes, with slight honey and very slight melon and pineapple. Plus spice - general, but was not expected like this. This is sweeter than the CSM Columbia Vly riesling. Very round mouthfeel and longer than average length for a riesling - full over the length. On the edge of petrol. Minerality is the undercurrent here. The fruit and spice hang on the palate long after the sip. Slighty better on the next night. Doing well for approaching 5 years!

Wow this is awesome.
Ripe stone fruit, Meyer lemon, green apple, minerality, petrol. A beautiful balance of acid & delicious honeyed sweetness.
