92 points - Mature yellow. Linoleum nose. Seamlessly integrated palate, with caramel hints. The wine was probably more vibrant 2-4 years ago, but it presents a smooth viscous palate structure with pineapple.

89 points - Bright somewhat full yellow. Complex, aged nose, deep set honeyed, pineapple compote notes. Moderate sweetness, burnt lime characters, some grippy acidity, sticking out a bit. This would’ve been better earlier, or maybe it’s not the best bottle. Some tiredness, finish drying out a bit.

95 points - Pale golden colour, some development. Malty, honey and herbal nose. Tropical fruit in the background. Vibrant, almost fizzy acidity keeping the wine fresh and cleansing the sweetness. Classic mosel! Superbly developed, excellent drinking now.

95 points - Medium bright gold. Alluring and complex nose of ripe pineapple, spicy poached fruit and age-derived honeyed notes. Moderately sweet, lovely driving flavour and lively acidity ending with a twist of orange rind bitterness. Delicious!
