13,5% alcohol. Tasted blind. Medium-deep honey-yellow color. Big, somewhat evolved and slightly woolly nose with aromas of ripe golden apples, some honeyed sweetness, a little bit of savory wood spice, light damp wool notes, a hint of quince and a touch of leesy character that has a slightly cheesy edge to it. The wine is ripe, silky and moderately full-bodied on the palate, yet not particularly weighty in style. Flavors of ripe golden apples and creamy tones, some developed buttery …

Sehr cremig, Sahnebonbons, fehlt etwas Säure und Frische, da Flasche schon drei Wochen offen, dadurch fehlt Balance, nicht so breit wie sonst, heute in dem Zustand 91

Intens nese bestående av blomster, ananas og fersken. Like fruktig i munnen med moderat sødme. Noe lime og mineraler i finish. God lengde. Lett å like med litt modning. Holder glatt 10 år til. 8 % abv 67 gr/l RS. Perfekt balansert. På den slanke siden for dette prädikat.

Rich and ripe wine, lovely ripe yellow fruit, well integrated oak that is (even) slightly caramelly, very big for a Mosel wine, seamless and rounded, ripe acidity, good length. Very good but necessarily my style.

Amazing scent, medium with light fruit and sweet scent. Amazingly complex with an amazing complex intense taste. Medium fruit, sweet, amazing finish. Perfect compliment with meals or alone.

Very nice nose of petrol, apples and oranges. On the palate this is viscous with honey, apples, apricots medium acidity and good minerals on the relatively short finish. Noticeable sweetness but still paired nicely with the food. I would be happier with somewhat higher acidity but this was 2 steps up form Molitor's Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett I had a week or two ago... 89-90- pts.

I rarely turn to Riesling, but this was enjoyable with Steelhead and prawns, after a nice spinach salad. Evolving notes of white peach, honey, apricot, sweet flowers, slate and wet stones, with a dose of iodine/petrol. Persistent minerality. Quite sweet. 8% ABV.

Deep golden color with Macintosh apple, nectar, green tea, burnt match, honeysuckle and wet rock. This is deep, rich and focused with superb viscosity. The finish is mouth-coating with a blast of freshness. (Drink 2011 - 2018) - JD 91+ Points

Light and clear yellow color. Refreshing nose full of citrus, white flowers and chalk. Medium bodied high acidity and flavors of lime, lemon zest, minerals and roast almonds. Good to pair with spaghetti a la marinara.

Light golden straw color. The nose is pure, displaying scents of petrol, lemon, apple, and some herbs. On the palate it is a delicate wine, with good concentration to the flavors of apple, lemon, cinnamon and minerals. The finish is somewhat short, and there is a lack of acidity suggesting that this wine will not age for very long. Drinking well now though.
