  Bought this because it was one of the oldest Rieslings available…
  
  At first rather muted bouquet
  on the palate hints of age, a bit tropical notes
  
  Nice, but somehow a bit watery, not super intense… like a hint of grand cru without being able to back it up.
  
  After some time a bit petrol smokey nose
  
  With time the palate becomes quite different, a little vegetal, acidity coming through nicely.
  
  But the tropical note is gone…
  
  Sometimes a bit aftertaste like an ice wine without the sweetness.
  
  Acidity is much more intense with time
  very nice…
  
  Surprisingly good and could age some more years.

  Lovely typica dry Riesling with a long finish where you can just start to smell and observe the age through the slight petrol scents. Really am enjoying this varietal.

  In der Nase etwas Rauch und feiner Stein, dazu viele nussig-heftige Noten, etwas Brokkoli, etwas Crème, und verhalten Champignons. Dazu ist es fruchtseitig deutlich zitrisch, eher grün, und vielleicht angedeutet tropisch.
  Am Gaumen saftig, dabei hohe Säure, aber gut integriert. Etwas pikant, auch salzig, aber auch etwas deutlich bitter.
  Hinten raus leicht austrocknend und insgesamt etwas gedeckt.
