Ruby/purple in color.  Slight barnyard funk along with some nice cherry fruit.  On the palate sour cherries but also a slight vegetal note.  Seems like a solid wine but perhaps a bit under ripe.  

Ruby in color, purple core.  The nose has cherry juice.  On the palate, this is a bit more elegant.  Cherries and spice.  Some sour cherries.  Good acidity.  Long finish.  Good match with food.  

Deep ruby in color.  The nose has light cherries and spice.  Much better on the palate.  Complex layers of cherries and earth.  Also some black cherries.  Drinking well.  Long finish.  

Purple, ruby at the rim.  The nose has cherries and spice.  On the palate, sour cherries.  Nice depth.  Drinking young but quite well now.  Good finish.  

Ruby, a bit thinner in appearance.  The nose has cherries and slight black cherries.  Nice depth.  Good energy.  Plenty of dark cherry fruit.  Some sour cherries on the finish.  

Purple in color, ruby at the rim.  The nose has nice cherries.  On the palate, sour cherries, slight gravel.  Nice.  Not much complexity but some.  Food friendly.  Good finish.  

Light gold in color.  The nose is very tight at first.  With air, slight pineapple and slight simple syrup.  On the palate, this is a bit flabby.  Thinner in texture.  Slight minty note.  Slight melons.  OK on the finish.  Not as good as prior Rieslings from this producer.  It is a solid Riesling but a bit more cut would be nice.  

Golden in color.  The nose has orange peel and honey.  Just gorgeous. On the palate, this is amazing.  The orange peel carries thru along with some orange and apricot.  Great acidity that cuts thru the sweetness.  It is sweet, just right.  Complex and deep.  Long, long finish.  Drinking quite well right now, but no hurry.  Just a lovely wine.  

Pop and pour, this wine is in a great place right now.  Purple/ruby in color.  The nose has black raspberries, white pepper, slight roasted meats and with air, blueberries and floral notes.  Very nice.  On the palate, this is layered and complex.  Plenty of black raspberry fruit, slight blueberries along with an underlying char.  Great balance.  It is actually a bit soft in texture from what I expected which is not a bad thing.  Complex and almost seamless.  Not sure if it gets better, but certainly no hurry, this has decades left.  Great wine.  

In a tasting, its often the bigger, flashier wine that is the best.  But, at the dinner table, over a couple hours, the opposite is often true.  That was the situation this wine had to deal with, but it came thru just fine.  Despite being 30 years younger than one of the wines, it still managed to strut itself quite impressively.  Purple in color, magenta at the rim.  Bright.  The nose has cassis, some graphite, spice and slight cedar.  Powerful but not over the top.  On the palate, this has a wonderful mouth feel.  Juicy.  Its big but seems light on its feet.  Flavors of cassis, and some p
