an after X- mas wine evening: to divide the red- wine flights a fruit- sweet Riesling- Spätlese with low alc.- grading is the very best! still fine and fresh acidity, exotic fruit such as mango and lychee, very harmonic, very long, mineralic, wet stones, would last another decade....... or more, but..... last bottle of this, maybe find some more at auctions...., ***(+), 87- 90?

wow, what a young wine! o.k. the colour is golden now......, the only hint at the beginning, the nose: little, very little petrol, mineralic, some yellow fruits, the sweetness is nearly gone, fine elegance, long finish, will improve for a lot more years,

Seems quite awkward with more advanced, honeyed flavours than I'd expect from a '97, and noticeable volatile acidity on the nose. Most likely an off bottle.

Eek! What happened here? Nasty stench of volatile acidity makes it barely drinkable.
