  Decant for 30 min. Right in the zone with bright fruit, a touch of sweetness, and just enough acid without too much zing. Well balanced and enjoyable right now.

  A very nice wine. Mouth-watering moderate acidity combined with a moderate sugar level resulting in a good balance. Notes of slightly smoky minerals, peach, citrus with an aromatic touch. Would expect the aromas to get deeper in the coming years, but excellent already today. 2018 was a hot year with early ripening and harvest. Maybe the temperatures contributed to the nice, but for WS uncommon, slightly aromatic touch.

  RPHC described it brilliantly. The cork was in better shape than its same vintage counterpart Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese. While this was slow ox'd only for 30 mins on ice in a large dining hall with blazing summer heat outside, the wine's richness (concentrated fruit) slowly faded over time with temperature, richer/spicy seafood, and good company. Upon release this would have been too much, but now it is starting to be quite remarkable, and even better with additional cellaring.

  On the nose: Peaches, the typical riesling nose, exotic fruits, rubber.
  On the palate: Perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. Peach, passion fruit mixed with fine lemon peel.
  Long finish
