Golden in colour. Mature nose, fresh with medium intensity, dominated by sweet, mature almost dried lemons and petroleum. On the palate a slight sweetness, medium(+) acidity, medium body, very good length with a bitter touch (some botrytis?). Fruity, with the lemons and petroleum present. Smooth texture, mouthfilling. A vigorous and lively 16 year old riesling. Beautiful!

Deep lemon with intense aromas of white flowers, honeysuckle, frangipane and lemon rind. This morphs to lime blossom, a touch of dried herbs and some mineral components. Dry, bright entry filled with citrus fruit: lime, lemon and white flowers along with a petrol note. Linear with good intensity in the mid-palate, refreshing with long length and showing good development at 15 years.

I thought this wine may have been a goner. But it seems like it's still in a really really good place with really pure fruit somewhat tropical but with tremendous acid and length. Enjoyed with Poulet and sweetbreads. This bottle was stored properly since purchase.

Disappointing. A lot of acidity but fruit seems lacking. Hard to see this going anywhere.
