Drank alongside a 2000 and was bested. Followed over 3 hours at a variety of temperatures.
This was fat, unctuous, a bit cloying and lacking acidity. Still a treat, but better served for dessert pairing. Maybe a spicy rendition of foie gras? Perhaps a storage issue, but paled compared to the other vintage.

Nose shows fine tropical fruits and some signs of beginning development. Missing some trademark diesel and petrol, but has a very nice strike of minerals present, and a very appealing fruity and fresh flower profile. On the palate this shows very fine and clean fruit. Long and clean finish. Perhaps (at this point anyway) a somewhat less complex showing than this wine usually delivers, but still very good. Will benefit from a few more years of development.

Lunch at the Librije (Zwolle, NL): [Restaurant purchase] No detailed notes. This was still very fresh for a 25 year old riesling. Lovely

Still Alive and kicking. Petroleum aromas. Sweetness and acidity well balanced inn the mouth.
