I cannot deny that this wine is flabby; but still disproportionately enjoyable. Its nose is lovely and warm with honey, an almost burnt note and a little kerosene. A slight lack of concentration and length might be considered faulty but this is always a delight for its considerable character and generosity

Mid gold. Although by no means high in acidity it still has a tingle. Quite sweet. 11.5% abv. Quite a lot of body. Smoke, nuts and honey on the nose. Definitely ripe. Not drying out. Perhaps good for 3 years (several bottles consistent)

Riesling & Pinot Noir Tasting at MHP (MHP): Nose: grapefruit, quite full, drumstick sweets (those lollipop-type things, amazing!), sultanas. Dried fruit on the palate, with white peaches and apples dipped in honey. Very well balanced, good acidity, off-dry, 11.5% alc. An outstanding effort, drinking very well, although I don't think I'd pay £18 for it normally.

exzellent; deutliche Saar-typische, mineralische Noten - und dies nahezu gänzlich ohne die für 2003 typische, säurearm-alkoholische Schwere; mit Potenzial für weitere 5-7 Jahre;

Quite yummy but teetering dangerously with a bit too much sweetness and a dearth of acidity. Could suddenly dry out I fear.
