Disappointing in the nose, distinct dusty aromas, paired with fresh cut green apple and a touch of white flowers. Nice juiciness on the palate, rich and persistent.

Lovely nose of ripe pear. A little spritz. True spatlese in terms of sweetness. Nice ripe stone fruit and even some slate. Short on the finish. A well-made everyday wine that is nothing special compared to the thousands of great wines in the mosel and rhein, but certainly it is 'good'. With Thai food it was spot on. (As a community we really need to stop grade inflation. If 90% of the wines reviewed are 88-90 points it defeats the purpose of a 100-point scale. I recognize of course that having a 100-point scale for something as subjective as your wine experience of a given bottle on a given night may not make a lot of semse to begin with!)

Tight aromatics but delightful Riesling and good flavor profile and balanced but could use a bit more grip on the finish.

Nice Spatlese. Had a seriously chalky minerality on the nose with that Riesling rubberband aroma. The palate was spiced apples with some honey.
