December 8, 2023 - Wonderful petrol nose. Well balanced honey and acidity on the palate. Coats the mouth. Long finish. No bitterness others have mentioned. This is in a really nice spot right now. Tastes of honey and sweet pear. Seems like this can still go a while longer in the cellar.

March 16, 2019 - Taste 90 & Higher Rated Wines (San Diego Wine Co.): TOO cold
Frt from the red sandstone soils of the steep Hipping vyd; 8.0% ABV, 76.0 g/L R.S., & 7.5 g/L T.A.
N: PETROL
P: Med body; Very RNDISH entry with SWTISH, honey tinged frt counterbalanced by an acidity which keeps things together as it morphs into a LONG, very, VERY slightly bitterish, tangy/swt finish. Would LIKE to have sensed > acidity. My VG+. 92 pts WS & 90 pts WE @ $17. [This vendor's $12.99 is ~$4 < wine-searcher's lowest.]
BTW, I don't even BEGIN to see WS's drink through '35! -

February 17, 2019 - P/chilled. Clear, light straw color. A prime example of what a German Spatlese Riesling is suppose to taste like. Wonderfully fresh and fruity, bright citrus with just the correct sweetness. Delicious. Gift.

February 11, 2019 - Candied lemon, pink grapefruit, honey, and ripe stone fruit bounce off each other on a bed of electric acidity. Unctuous and sweet, yet lively and fresh.

August 9, 2018 - With friends at Sabuy Sabuy II in Berkeley. PnP. Straw yellow in color. Exotic citrus and melon nose. On the palate I also get white nectarine along with some green apple. Nice finish. Definitely full body. Estie thought this was even better than some of the recent previous rieslings we've enjoyed. Enough said!
