This is over the hill. The color is too amber and there's a bit too much burnt petrol on the nose for me to think otherwise. It's still an enjoyable wine considering how well-balanced the sugar and acid remain, but the fruit profile is that of stale cider rather than energetic Riesling. To each their own.

Classic petrol nose. Honey on the palate. Much more powerful than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Smooth, good acid and long finish. But a bit one dimensional and went flat after about 20 minutes in the glass.

Last of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, as last noted in 18, super and from top vintage, quite rich, not particularly botrytized but lovely nervosity. VF (18.5).

5th of 6, pnp but drunk over several nights, perfect cork and level, back on top form, now mature in look and complex flavour profile, admirable purity and freshness, hint of well judged spice, v long and even more persistent, should age well. VF (18.5).
