Community Tasting Note

gouldcampbell77 Likes this wine:

Friday, January 26, 2024 - 27yrs young and still going strong. These bottles had leaky/sticky capsules when I bought them way back in 1999, but fill level looks fine although the cork did fall apart on opening.

Medium straw gold colour with fabulous Riesling aromatics - quince. pear, gooseberry and two stroke petrol. On the palette only spatlese sweetness as others have mentioned and the fruit is still alive although now mature and honied. There is quite sharp grapefruit acidity on the finish however that I don't remember from old which is a little bit unbalancing.

Overall, still a class act and although I don't have much experience of older rieslings, I think that it's probably time to drink up.That acidity is just a little too harsh for me.
