#01-92, 8%. An absolutely brilliant bottle, as the other two corked ones would have indicated. Ex-cellar Dr. Bonelli, of course. A whiff of the old school Prüm funk, but then you get this crystalline green herbal thing, as well as some delicious yellow fruit. On the palate, the raciness of the vintage is eminently clear, but this feels like it has far more weight than the somewhat disappointing 1990 Egon Müller Auslese, despite this bottle's lower Prädikats. Nonetheless, there is a generous amount of sweet fruit here, and the freshness is undeniable, despite being a hair over 30 years old. Mouthwateringly delicious, and this solid bottle just makes it all the more sad that my other two bottles were corked.

Saturday night at The Papies (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): This felt unbalance, a bit of a fruit juice at time and totally lacked depth of flavor and any sort of elegance we are used to at this level albeit this been a Spatlese. A lot of petrolly touches on the nose but really nothing past that. Dissapointing 87
