  Ripe yellow fruits are dominant. Some orange zest and kumquat in the background. Good structure. Medium complexity. Acidity could be a little more precise. Nice savory finish. Drink now until 2025. (IG)

  Das ist natürlich ein sehr guter Riesling, keine Frage. Aber mit dem vor ein paar Tagen probierten 14er kann er nicht mithalten. Nach Öffnen der Flasche kommt er reichlich beliebig, enttäuschend daher. Er braucht Luft. Danach entwickelt sich ein eher weicher, kräuterwürziger Wein, der wie üblich sehr mineralisch ist, dem aber etwas der Druck fehlt. Grapefruit, Limone, leicht Aprikose. Guter Abgang. Ich glaube nicht, dass sich der Wein noch wesentlich entwickelt. Jetzt schön zu trinken, aber dieser Jahrgang ist nicht top.

  This bottle was even better than previous consumption. Great grapefruit and peach flavors with really nice acidity backbone. I think this is right in drinking window. Decanted with an aerator, so lots of air. If I had any more left, which I sadly don't, I would say it is best to drink within the next 2-3 years.

  Not carried away with this, to me it is all acidity and grapefruit, very little else coming through, if you could ignore the price it would be an acceptable refreshing summer Riesling, does it need more time to develop? who knows, but I reserve judgement on this one, not had many of this wineries offerings but all are expensive and to me maybe just not a style I really care for.

  A bit disappointing compared to previous experience with this producer. This bottle being the first of a case of 6 of the Fraunberg ´15. Closed nose, on the palate yellow apple, undecided acidity, a little dull in the finish. Bad bottle? 84-86P
