A nice lunch at home with friends (Haarlem): And again (see my previous notes) I'm impressed by the very subtle and ripe acidity that keeps everything in its place; elegant, refined, persistent and superbly balanced, no signs of age. Tasted with cheese, it was again memorabel.

So refined in the balance between sour and sweet; from the very ripe citrus to the balancing sugar. Purity is the hallmark of this wine, from the bouquet with a hint of vanilla, a whiff of grass, its flowery impressions to the refined and very long aftertaste; from start to finish a sheer delight.

Incredibly pure, only 7,5%. so in fact a super Auslese with a sublime refreshing and lingering acidity and a perfectly matching sweetness. The bouquet is very elegant with citrus and exotic fruit. Day 1, 2, 3 and 4 the wine remained very consistent; the bouquet even got a bit more depth. This is very, very refined and terrific good stuff.

A criminally delicious nose of pineapple, lime, vanilla and kerosene. On the palate as paradoxical as only Riesling can be. Sweet for sure yet intensely acidic and absolutely weightless. Minerally, crisp and outright electric - this level of focus is rare. Sublime stuff for very little money.

A Spätlese at the Auslese level, with a superb mix of sour & sweet ending in a refined balance. This very pure wine is light as a feather but has persistence (and lots of life ahead).
