Unreal. Apple pie wine. No formal notes. So fresh. So pure. Great acids. Juicy. Concentrated and decadent. Awesome. Such a long finish

Still so young that it’s almost a shame to drink now...almost. Incredible combination of power and feather-lightness

Superb. If you gotta drink an Auslese young, might as well be this. Graach also shows much better in infanticide situations.

My bottle was in perfect shape and had aged perfectly. Fresh pineapple followed by crisp green apple. Outstanding wine and ready to drink now. Not over sweet like many Ausleses, but instead, perfectly balanced and perfect with Chinese food. This Riesling has a precision to its flavors that is extraordinary

Acid-sugar balance spot on, floral and pretty whilst not lacking a little texture. An excellent benchmark for German Riesling

Afternoon delight. I can drink the whole bottle in about 10 minutes. Scary!

Quite lively on the palate - gives a sense of effervescence when there is none. Great great acidity. Fruit is a touch more restrained than the 2012, for example.

At home with Suns and Jen. Best with rich spicy food (Kalio shrimp).

Infanticide for the Auslese, but it's so spot on even now. The rest wait. Bring the petrol.
