  No formal notes.... drinking very nicely at the moment. Probably at it’s peak although should hold steady for a while.

  No formal notes. Good richness and still lots of sappy fruit, but lacked some freshness and complexity.

  Good not great for me. Nice complexity, but a little flat on the finish. Could use more acid.

  Some evidence of possible heat damage with wetness about a third of the way up the cork all the way around and wet streaks in places almost all the way to the top. Light gold in color. On the nose, it seems at least mostly sound, delivering a cocktail of tropical fruits (mango, papaya, and guava, especially guava), sour apple candy, rubber band (the so-called petrol), and white flowers. A respectable and identifiable, if not thrilling, riesling nose. On the palate, it’s full, rounded, and rich, showing ripe and dried guava and other tropical fruits, thick raw honey, and a nice sharp acidity and some mineral. Quite sweet, of course, but not overbearingly so for an auslese these days. The finish is mostly of fruit and honey and very sappy. Decent length. It’s a nice wine and a decent representative of its category, but for such a distinguished vineyard and after nine years (admittedly the blink of an eye for a quality auslese), I had hoped for more. Perhaps a pristine bottle would show better.
