Simple Riesling that has blossomed beautifully with age. Terrific QPR. Superb with Sichuanese (spicy!) food. Cork was a mess, but the juice was delicious and fully mature. Nose was quite complex, color was beautiful to look at (caramel), and palate had enough acidity to keep things fresh.

92-93 still showing great, mature riesling nose of petrol, some pine/juniper, ripe tropical fruit with a touch of honey, palate has a nice balancing acidity, short finish, and moderate complexity if not a bit simple but a joy to drink nonetheless. A treat at a great $$

I just love old Riesling. It is not subtle or super complex, but the sweet acidity with a lovely fruitiness is beautiful. So good with food. Totally delicious.

Showed similar to past bottles, not overly complex but just enough to keep you interested and great for the $$. This bottle was a bit more developed and gaining a little juniper note to the sweetness. Overall still solid, mature and easy drinking Auslese.
