Gosh, I just love aged German Riesling, sweeter the better, though this Spatlese works — faint petrol aromas, but also very floral with some faint apricot and peach, great balance/acidity on palate, medium-long finish, very fine, if not quite outstanding, just lovely!! — 5 years ago

The condition of the bottle was remarkable - the wine was fresh and crisp, like the day it was bottled. Bright with a tinge of green, no signs of TDN at all. Only the mellowed acidity gave any indication of age. Insane!

Despite all that, the wine itself was rather disappointing. Not really complex or deep, and finish was quite short. I guess it did come from a tough vintage. However, it had the classic Grunhaus lightness - drinking more like a kabi than spat. In conclusion, an easy fun drink that fell below expectations. — 7 years ago

Very different. A 2013 German Sauvignon Blanc. It’s minerally bordering on salty. Fruit creeps in after 1/2 hour. Probably needs more time. Certainly at the top end of SBs. Went very well with Raclette. — 8 years ago

2012v. Petrol and wax on the nose. On the palette, there's a wash of sweet yellow apple and tangy lemon lime. Slight petrol on the finish but it's a clean ending. Slightly sweet, decent acidity, and a nice body in the mouth makes for a versatile and easy drinking wine. — 9 years ago

Vs Kirkenstuck: softer, more moderate acid structure, all-in-all not as complex. Interested to see where it is in a few years. — 9 years ago

A battle within the glass. Must resist guzzling as the tart acid & bright citrus are making it way too easy to crush. Beautiful spring day, beautiful wine. — 10 years ago

Fresh, zingy and deeply fruity. Pear, melon, apple skin and a lovely whiff of dusty minerality...

2011 vintage. Light golden hue. Mineral, chalky, peaches and stone fruits to the fore. Quite ripe. On the palate, dry (probably more than 4g of residual but acidity masks the sugar), medium plus body,high alcohol, high extract, long and persistent finish and huge refreshing, tangy acidity, especially on the finish. Peaches and apricots, lemon zest from the acidity, crisp and long textured wine with real weight. Love it. More similar to an Alsatian Riesling than a Mosel/Rheingau Riesling, and although weighty, no noticeable TDN notes or lime juice zest of a High Eden or Clare Valley Aussie Riesling. — 11 years ago

Less acid structure than '15 so the sugar reveals more of itself. Nonetheless an outstanding wine to drink with spicy broccoli salad. — 9 years ago

Exact wine on Delectable is described as "Spatlese Riesling" instead of Riesling Spatlese, so wines are archived separately. — 11 years ago
