I was worried about this bottle as the fill level was low and there was a lot of seepage. Didn’t matter at all. Fantastic nose of concentrated stone fruit: apricot, peach, some pineapple as well. Sweet smelling flowers ie honeysuckle and slight jasmine note. Nice, mild petrol aroma. On the palate very concentrated and in a great place in terms of the freshness and acidity combined with that aged Riesling profile of honeyed stone fruit, candied pineapple, dried citrus rind, all with a acidity framing the wonderful fruit. In a great place right now.

What a nose. Spice, umami, deep aroma, clean dry botrytis, honey, peanut butter, rich concentrated, texture, ripeness, honeyed apricot fruit. So hedonistic. — a year ago

Juicy nose, apricot, but a bit quiet now. Huge power, depth and concentration, grippy and dense, tremendous, higher sugar and high extract, dense, huge acid, love the structure, energetic for days. So so good. Just spectacular. Needs age. But this is as special as it gets. — a year ago

This is such a great Mosel Pinot. Sour cherries, violets on the nose and some darker cherries and spice with moderate air but the palate is a showstopper. Sweet red cherries, such freshness and bursting with flavor and that rare tiny berry fruit intensity. Just so luscious and succulent. The energy of this wine is incomparable. Really lovely and sweet tannin. — a month ago

Wow. In the zone. Palate had confectionary cotton candy and smarties. Gorgeous apple pie nose. Drink up but no rush but kind of a rush. — 10 months ago

The new top wine. Floral, layered, spice, smells so deep but also a sense of much more lurking underneath. High toned mid season cherry and red currants. Really elegant and lifted. Elite. Stunning. Then saturates the palate with a level of explosive fruit and the most ripe and velvety tannins. This is best Pinot ever at Spater Veit. Unreal wine and endless finish and wonderful aging potential. Energy and keeps that finish. Genius wine. Best Mosel Pinot Noir I have ever had. Stunning. The fruit is so pure. Inner mouth aromas are stunning. — a year ago

Showing so well. Insane spices on the nose that takes you to Morey or Vosne. Gorgeous slate and herbals and wow what insane levels of deep cherries. Gorgeous and in the zone. Palate is juicy and elegant with lively sour cherry and mid season cherry and delightful finesse and complexity. Long finish and lovely palate staining. Really just glorious wine. As this aired it gained some opulence in the mid palate and lovely inner mouth spice aromas. — 9 months ago

Nose is so complex. Wide open nose of spices, herbs, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, apricot, meyer lemon, so comple, Riesling perfume, also leather and slate. Age has done wonders. Airy minerality as well. What a palate, This is perfect wine. So much going on. Bittersweet cocoa and coffee and also unreal acids and super complex. In the best spot. Umami for lack of a better word on the palate. Long and chewy. Honeyed, Total bee sting on the tongue. Clean and fresh. @Delectable Wine this is the Goldtropfchen Spatlese “Jupp.” Thanks! — a year ago
