94 points - Electric yellow. Showing age. Talcum. Wonderful complexity: herbs. Like the acid structure.

88 points - Aged aromas quite evident. A concentrated style, developed, caramelly notes dominate over any fruit it might have had. There’s a suggestion of richness, dried apricot and some snuffed candle tones, but I think this is a bit past its prime, a bit tired. It lacks the delightful acidity and sparkling fruit that the best Mosel rieslings have.

95 points - Intriguing from the get-go. Lemon nose. Palate creamy lemon curd, almost cheese cake like aroma. Rich and luscious. Mirabelle. Cinnamon. All the way carried by vibrant acidity. Long, satisfying. Absolute cracker of a wine! Ideal with food, really comes to life with spicy and oily Asian food: acidity comes out. Carries right through the spiciest of dishes. It's like an aged hunter semillon, just richer. Also reminiscent of a Alsatian style wine.

94 points - Bright gold with the slightest touch of green. Nose shows sweet corn, dairy hints, spice and marzipan with a schist savoury edge. Baby poo aromas develop after a while. Very rounded palate, perhaps a little flabby and almost strangely shapeless. Acidity just there, just enough to peak out of the soft palate. Interesting twinges of acidity though. Good concentration and depth. Full and rich style. Very good with spicy food though. The spice from the food provides the necessary structure for this riesling to sing, soothing, calming, full to settle the tongue. Higher rating with food. Needs time to really reveal itself. Was a little flabby when it was just opened. Nougat oak notes in the finish as the wine airs too.
