  Cheap-ass cork that couldn't be extricated without crumbling into a million pieces like all the other '98 Donnhoffs I've had, though fortunately this time the cork didn't taint the wine. This is now fully mature with a deep golden color but still has a nice acute acidic raciness. Pleasantly aromatic, too, with a some honey and flowers and rocks. It doesn't taste as expressive or detailed as it smells but it's a nice mouthful of mature riesling, maybe something I would have guessed to be Alsatian if I didn't know what it was.
