Very good indeed. essence of Riesling on the nose, including the petrol whiff. Golden. A very full, voluptuous mouthful. Loads of sone fruits, white peach, tart apricot, ripe pear. Then the minerally dry extract takes over and finishes dry. Considerable acidity behind all this. Very long. Quite outstanding. Not for everyday but an experience.

Light and ethereal. The nose and the length are both shorter than might be desired, and so detract from the overall impression, but the tastes are good and the wine went down easily.
Lots of this left, so best to drink… though it shows no sign of … decline?

Very alive (if old) 375. Tastier as it went down.

What a treat from a 375. 18 years, full and rich with an intense pitted flavor. Yellow fruit and dense.
