Sometimes, you find a bottle you had forgotten you had, realize you should have drunk it years ago, and are very pleasantly surprised by how it held up. This was not one of those times. My fault for not drinking this a decade ago, but now a brown sherry color, apple juice on the nose and a sour taste.

This bottle isn't as far gone as the last, but still past its prime. Deep yellow gold in color. Primary aromas are sweet red apples and nuttiness, with a little sherry note. Same on the palate; palatable but not ideal.

Still a solid riesling - likely past prime but still interesting for both nose and mouth. Medium body but with plenty of acid remaining and the start of oily-richness on the palate.

Fermented apple juice and sherry on the nose. Heavily oxidized.
