This was a fantastic wine. first cork broke in half and had to extracted like a sebaceous cyst, but it did it's job preserving the wine. Golden in color and when light passing through bowl of wine glass, a hint of green. Sweet and luscious, apple the main player, but finish was...grape jelly! Never had a Riesling do that. Each sip was a sweet wonder and it's hard to believe this was a $23 wine. If this would have been thick and unctuous i would have rated it higher, but the flavor was all there. Everything you would want to ask of a Riesling. i have no idea how much further it will go, but the fruit is incredible right now, and ask 5 years might not be out of the questions.

Aromas and flavors of apricot, melon, and petrol. Ripe fruit on the palate but transitions to a dry finish. Solid weight with balanced acidity. A great example of how patience can be rewarded with riesling. Fantastic balance throughout, a wonderful wine.

(Reichsgraf Von Kesselstat Scharzhofberger Spatlese) It was too young as this vineyard needs twenty years to start showing well. Combine that with the somewhat not-to-easy-to-drink-on-the-young-side style of these wines this was bound to show youthful and it did. Classic chalky/sweet tarty aromas along with some tangy stone fruits. Palate was steely and skeletal with just a smidgeon of flesh on the bones. It filled in as it breatedh and became somewhat tropical as it warmed up but ultimately was inward. Needs time but still had wonderful balance and vasty improved after three or four hours open.

Beau riesling vieux de 15 ans. Super doux, presque liquoreux, beaucoup de poire, légèrement épicé. Beau vin , belle expérience encore !
3,5/5

Modestly golden colored; great richness of fruit and honey on nose and palate; apricots, spices; great balance. Super wine!
