Loaded with ripe tropical fruit, this user-friendly, approachable Riesling lacks a bit of minerality but compensates by offering pineapple and mango flavors. It’s decently concentrated and long, just a bit one-dimensional.

A very good halbtrocken, with fruit aromas and flavors reminiscent of tangerines and peaches layered over a minerally bedrock. Its medium weight and long, mouthwatering finish give it extra appeal.

Shows the bright, vibrant character of the vintage, marrying zesty lime notes with hints of minerals, sweet pineapple and green apple. Fresh and clean, with a mouthwatering finish that leaves you wanting another sip.

Seems sweet beyond the normal bounds of kabinett, but despite the high sugar levels, there's also a dry, dusty stoniness to the finish that provides a sense of balance. Crushed stone, green apple and lime scents lead the way, followed by riper apple, pear and honey flavors on the medium-weight palate. A candidate to match with spicy or slightly sweet Asian dishes.

Simply gorgeous aromas of honey, apricots and tangerines are echoed on the palate, where the wine is full, rich and sweet without seeming overly heavy. The moderate levels of acidity provide adequate balance now, but may prove too low for extended aging; that’s okay, because it’s so good now. Probably best over the next 5–10 years.

Similar in aromatics and flavor to Werner’s slightly less weighty BA, the TBA features musky scents reminiscent of tropical flowers as well as tremendous weight and texture. Molasses and caramel notes reverberate on the long finish.

Vanilla and crème brûlée aromas add complexity to intensely sweet orange-marmalade and apricot aromas and flavors. Focused, with good balancing acidity that leaves a clean citrusy finish.

Smells crisp and steely, full of limes and green apples, then turns softer on the palate where ripe pears and MacIntosh apples take over. It’s delicately off-dry, balanced by adequate acidity that extends through the finish.

Delicious and bold, the bouquet of this Auslese is a melange of orange blossom, honey, cinnamon—even banana aromas. Rich, but not cloyingly sweet, orange, honey and mango flavors show on the palate, and the velvety smooth texture wears them well. Turns a bit drier and towards mild citrus flavors on the finish. Best now through 2004.

Smells ripe, with honey and pear aromas that fold in apples and tangerines. The apples and pears continue on the palate, accented by baking spices—cinnamon, clove and allspice or nutmeg. The acidity is low, making this a candidate to drink now with your favorite Asian cuisine.
