Straw in color. Nose of nectarines and hint of limestone. Tastes of cherries, ripe peaches, and apple cider. Wonderful fruit and acidity. Off dry with a dried finish that lasts. Impressive for a kabinett (though likely downgraded spatlese) from this vintage and age.

Interesting nose, Botrytis? Some bitterness under the sweetness. Richer than the 02, but not as well balanced. It had honeysuckle, flowers, and slate. The underlying bitterness made this a lesser wine than the 02.

This wine was excellent. Minerality (slate). Sweetness that must be near the kab-aus border, Acidity-fruit balance was perfect.

Tastes of pears and sweet honey. Fat and cloying on the finish. Needs more acidity. For drinking now.
