  From an excellent looking bottle, this wine had a gold center and clear rims. The nose was medium intensity at first but ramped up nicely with time to medium+. It showed dried apricot, pear, lime, lemon, and minerals.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was a bit diluted at first. However, I could feel the minerals and the crisp finish building in the mouth. There was a hint of cigar. After a couple hours it was attractive in a tangy and refined style.
  
  This wine was classy and was nice with food. It should hold at this peak for at least 5 years.

  Riesling SWAG 2017 (Restaurant Vlet, Hamburg / Speicherstadt): I had the chance to drink this wine twice this evening, from two perfect bottles straight out of Zillikens cellar. What a beauty!
  Clear, pale, amber color with an interesting red hue. Wonderful, clean, fully developed and complex nose: Smoke, flint stone, herbs, peat, botrytis (honey).
  Off-dry, sweetness has perfectly blended into the wine, acidity is still medium+ and also perfectly integrated. Beautiful, elegant taste with layers and layers of different aromas and flavors. Very long and lingering. Certainly at its peak. Great and memorable experience!
