  Austrian Rieslings (Domäne Wachau, Dürnstein, Austria): Flight 1, Wine 3: From magnum. Medium yellow gold. Dried yellow fruit, citrus, light honey, light petrol, and signs of bottle age, with very good length. Medium-bodied, medium-complex, with good concentration. Still holding up well. Drink now.

  Guld-grön-gul i färgen
  
  Doften ger torra lätt omogna gula frukter, gula, lätt övermogna äpplen, lätt riesling-petroleum. Doftar torrt.
  
  Smaken ger torr nektar, guldgult, torra gula plommon och sträv ananas, gula äpplen tillsammans med de där gift-gröna importerade äpplenas skal. Lätt bitter ton (men inget som stör). Torrt! Överraskande torrt. Verkligen ätit upp allt socker.
  
  Den var direkt avtändande vid korkdragning men redan efter tre minuter hade det blåst förbi. Däremot känns det här ”obalanserat passé” och inget som ger en direkt klockren upplevelse - utan att vara defekt.
  
  Tyvärr. Jag hade ganska stora förhoppningar på en fantastisk 25-årig riesling-upplevelse från Österrike men den uteblev utan att det på något sätt blev ett fiasko.
  
  Den tar sig definitivt med luft men landar på beskedliga 85-86 poäng.

  Epler, ørlite petro, litt urter, men relativt diskret på duft. Derimot intens i munnen, med mandarin, tørka frukter (aprikos, fiken), grapefrukt, etter hvert noe appelsin. Svært god friskhet. Ender i akkurat litt for mye grapefruktbitterhet som avløses av en fin salttouch. Sitter veldig lenge i munnen.

  Deep gold/light amber colour. Excellent fill level but slightly murky cork. Nose with old apples, some ripe yellow fruit and fruit compote, petroleum, smoke, and firne/old Riesling aromas. Dry, with yellow and green apples, high acidity, a hint of bitterness, and a tart finish. Not too complex and somewhat hollow mid-palate, this (bottle) has unfortunately not kept as well as could be hoped for, but fans of old Riesling will like the nose. 84 p.
