  And so another Hans Gunter Schwarz wine passes into memory. But wow what a memory. My immediate thought was that the Rieslaner had been dosed with 25% Scheurebe, the grapefruit and sage aromas were that strong. An hour later and a few degrees warmer, and the scritchy, feral Rieslaner personality asserted itself. Orange zest with a dash of horseradish, honey laced with ginger, each sip enticingly sweet, but also with a spicy finish. Sad that this one is gone, but lucky to have had the opportunity.

  Showing nice aged Riesling notes of quince, dried mango, and bruised apple. Well balanced and still has some time ahead.

  A fireworks display. A whirlwind of exotic tropical fruits, orange peel, grapefruit, and higher toned spicy and burnished notes all coming together on a lightweight frame. There's moderate sweetness matched by that tremendous '96 acidity - this has amazing cut and focus, but it's also impeccably balanced with remarkable length. Thrilling wine.

  Vanilla, Mirabelles, beeswax, green apple, nice acidity with the sweetness already fading. Great at this stage!

  Oily, floral and nice notes of peach. Lost nearly all its sweetness but still very much alive. Very nice!
