I wasn't that impressed though I haven't really enjoyed anything I have tried from Ste Michelle unfortunately. Anyone have a similar (or opposite) experience? I just moved to Washington so I am really trying to support the locals.

This was another example why I love Ruwer Kabinett; light/medium bodied, gentle sweetness balanced by deliciously crisp acidity, finely focus, elegant, long and exuding aromas and flavour, in which strands of peachy citrus, petrol, steel and minerals were detectable with none standing out. A lovely drink but not without flaw because after certain mouthfuls of food I caught whiffs of striking matches on the finish which still hints at a heavy hand with sulphur 18 years ago. Lovely overall though; 17/20.

Screw capped, but no reduction at all on this bottle. It's effusively peachy, nearly into the tropical region, but backed up by solid minerality. There's quite a bit of RS here, so it matches up well with a spicy Thai-style vegetable curry, and the back end acids clean everything up. No worries about cellaring this for a few years - there's more than enough stuffing for it to hold and perhaps improve just a bit.

Holy mother of god this is amazing!
No descriptions possible, but this is about as brilliant an Auslese I have experienced - pure, layered, complex, light on its feet yet packed with flavour - just wow.
