Golden in color. Aromas of sweet apple, mineral with a hint of petrol. Palate has plenty of candied white fruit and mineral, but lacks the acidic verve and tension I recall from this wine's earlier days. Makes for a somewhat flaccid experience.

Enjoyed with Easter dinner. Beautiful mineral-driven aromas with plenty of crisp apple notes. Palate is loaded with acid and powerful fruit. Excellent balance across the palate. Nice long finish. Very well done.

(Van Volxem "Wiltinger Braunfels") Nose of fig, tangelo, tropical fruits and chalk. Clean nose. Palate of tremendous complexity and waves of tropical fruits, stone and chalk. Crunchy and concentrated but with great elegance. Definetly does a dance on the palate as the acid/sweetness tension is presented deftly. Brilliant.

Hmmm - what happened to the acid here? Seemed flat and lacking zip.
