  Petrol and orange zest on the nose. Sweetish, delivering petrol and some citrus and apple flavors with good carrying acidity.

  On the nose honey, mineral and resin aromas. Sweet on the palate, nice acidity ,dried apricote frut. Very balanced.

  Remarkably unevolved, this showed lots of lime and mineral, along with more evolved elements in terms of a creamy texture and developing pine-related forest floor nuances. Where it fell short (and it’s a total nit, as the wine was fabulous otherwise) was in the sugar/acid balance. 1990 was a vintage of high ripeness, but also high acidity, and on the whole I’m not sure people really judged the sugar quite right. Many wines (including to a limited degree this one) are showing too acidic for their fruit at this point in life, and I don’t think that balance will ever recover. All that said I think it’s a great time to drink this wine, and I actually gave it a very high score.

  Quite a deep colour. Nice appley nose, starting to show some petrol. Good, clean Riesling attack. Round, not too sweet, just gorgeous richness. Elegant. But somehow, like most Fritz Haag wines, it just doesn't seem to do it for me.
