  Pale gold, touch of green. Much less obvious sweetness on this bottle. Plenty of white peach, ripe pear and apple. Still some riper fruits and touch of light honey. Decent acidity, long. Lovely.

  Broken Wings and New Things (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Light gold color. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. Sweet nose of ripe peach and apple, modest fusil, ripe mango. The palate is a little fat, with a very nice round plush texutre, sweet, ripe apple, mango, wet stones, good depth, long finish. Very nice, and little more acid would really energize it.

  Really lovely, got better over a couple of weeks Coravined. Quite rich, sweet but the acidity and citrus elements are coming more to the fore. Lovely honeyed lime and tropical fruits. edge of apple. acidity seems more in balance. Long. Lovely wine, still quite youthful.

  Bright, sharp yellow w/hint of green. Positively glows.
  Nose > Earthy peach, pear, key-lime, lemon custard & brown spices. Very Rheingau. Hint of blackcurrant & lavender.
  Lots going on aroma-wise. Ripe Riesling & botrytis.
  On the palate > Round, apricot, starfruit, white peach, persimmon, quince, Chinese apple & lanolin. Light, pretty, earthy botrytis.
  Earthy, rich, firm, & creamy with medium acidity in the finish.
  Excellent balance. Medium concentration, length, & acidity.

  Mid gold. rich ripe fruits on nose. Then very much as per MFW review. Heading for Auslese territory. Honey and ripe exotic fruits, mango and pineapple. Plus a citrus core. Luscious and long. If this is what you'd like, you'll like this very much right now but many years ahead.
