  In der Nase reif aber trotzdem elegantes Bouquet von reifem gelben Steinobst, etwas Melone, viel Limette und ganz viel Kalk. Mit viel Luft wird es verhalten hell-kräutrig, erinnernd an Melisse. Außerdem fast etwas rotbeerig.
  
  Am Gaumen schöner fester Biss, sehr saftig. Dazu auch hier deutlich kalkige Elemente mit viel Zitrus und eher heller, griffiger Mineralik. Nicht wirklich trocken und dadurch mit etwas weniger Fokus als ich mir wünschen würde, trotzdem schön elegant und minimal cremig.
  
  Recht lang, Ortswein aus dem oberen Regal.

  Brilliant riesling that is pure and fine and perhaps at this stage lacking a bit in complexity but does not really matter. High acids and a little green streak but also some weight. Loved it.

  Honest Bob hits this on the nail with his tasting note - I cannot add anything except to regret that it was my last bottle... 92+

  From 75cl, perfect cork. Intense tropical fruit scent: pineapple, maracuja, mango, apricot; bright acidic entry, with the leaner, more ethereal notes from the aforementioned fruits; the entry brings considerable sweetness, zingy ripe acidity, and all the broader fruit features the scent promised, plus ripe lime juice; maracuja and pineapple make it over the finish line. I could easily drink far too much of this. Entering maturity, no petrol notes yet, 4-8 years to go, depending on what you like. 91P

  Absolutely delicious Riesling from the instant uncorked.
  Just a great balance of acidity and fruit that welcomes the palate.
  After the first bottle from the case i instinctively stowed it deep in the cellar to eek it out, a special wine.
