Light golden in color. The nose is very nice with wet stones and slight peach. Clean and without diesel. On the palate, this is mineral drive. Delicious. Some peach. Good acidity. Nice finish. Food friendly. Showing some complexity as it opens in the glass. The wine is drinking great now but should continue to evolve and probably improve over the next five to ten years.
This is AP #2 for those who keep track. Yellow/gold in color. The nose is very tight and took a while to open. It was surprisingly already showing a hint of diesel along with "wet rocks", slight green apples and guava. Medium to full bodied. Excellent acidity. On the palate, this is again, quite closed and took more than an hour to open up and show much. Minerals, slight green apple and more minerals. It is sweet but barely so for a Spatlese. This should amply reward those who give it another five to eight years (or more) in a good cellar. It should drink well for forty years afte
Yellow/green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has slight diesel with lemons and wet rocks. Medium bodied. On the palate, this is slightly sweet (much less than expected). Slightly viscous. Lemons with nice minerality. Long finish. Great on its own it will work well with lighter salads or with savory desserts. drink over the next ten to twelve years.
Beautiful wine and a great value. Light gold/green in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with "wet rocks", lemons and slight apple. Medium bodied. Nice texture. On the palate, this is delicious. Slightly sweet. Lemons and minerality. Good acidity. Some complexity. Nice finish. This is great on its own and would work well with a wide variety of foods. Thai food is a natural. Drink over the next five to ten years.
Drunk over two consecutive nights, this was a bit better on night 2. Deep golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has pineapple, slight honey, wet rocks and just a bare whiff of petrol. On the palate, this is sweet. Pineapple and some tropical fruits. Nice underlying minerality. Viscous texture. Lingering finish. A very nice wine. This should easily go another decade and probably two. It will work great early or late in a meal and also pair well with fruit salads.
