2016 vintage. Very tropical. Brûleed pineapple, baked yellow apple, quince paste, banana, fried plantain, honeysuckle, prendre blossom, white lokum, yellow papaya. Good sweetness-acid balance, though a touch less acid than a lot of Riesling equivalents. — 6 years ago

Wow, hard to find real good German Riesling nowadays, this was one of them! Very floral, light, with enough structure! Would drink it again. — 9 years ago

The word around the table from the dessert wine drinkers that tasted this one was “WOW!” Nose of dried apricots, honey, dried herbs and pea pods. Intensely sweet apricot and honey flavors. A vibrant dessert wine that balances fruity sweetness with a delicate and minerally finish. Nutty color like a fine sherry. Brilliant!!! — 6 years ago

Botrytis is tame and well integrated. Lots of depth in its youth. This will be great with age! — 8 years ago

Huge mistake on my part for not including a picture of the wine which was a dark orange. As expected big concentration and flavor intensity. The acid is bumping up on middle age and might be an achilles' heel. — 10 years ago

Pronounced nose, rich flavors & a long finish. It's an auslese with only 9.5% ABV, but it's all fruit and any remaining RS is well-balanced with bright acidity. — 10 years ago

Wonderful aged white. Dry wine with sweetness, petrol, and finesse. Drank it with red meat and it held its own at 13 years old. — 11 years ago

This was is sweet! Although not unexpected, the lushness and overt sweetness gives you pause after the first sip. On the second sip you begin to realize what a spectacular and special wine this is. Honey and tropical fruit salad on the nose lead to a lush, sweet, but spectacularly balanced palate with layers of pineapple, peach, papaya, mango and honey. I think Terry Thiese put it best himself, “this wine is impeccable and god-like. To repeat an old trope, you don’t drink it, it drinks YOU. Actually it eats you. It’s like the 3rd or 4th orgasms, wrenching and almost severe, exquisiteness squeezed inside out.” A steal of a wine at $25 and a spectacular pairing for spicy foods. — 7 years ago

Second super old wine from this producer in one week. Much, much better than the MT on Wednesday. Lots of orange zest, dried apricot components paired with a still lively acidity. Nice! — 9 years ago
