  Oh my god, wow, best riesling I've ever had. Absolutely amazing wine. There is so much depth and character here. It's a little fungal and herbal, a touch of smokiness, incredible rich honey and toffee apple. Complex but deliciously approachable. Superb acidity and weight. It just feels so effortless and light. The only thing stopping me going higher than 95 is the finish, which is a little bit short (for a >95 wine, still great though). I opened this thinking it would be a fairly decent mid week wine, and was blown away. Can't wait to try the 2018.

  Taste a little off, bought it from a online auction, not really sure this was properly handled/stored. I have had bad rieslings (Kerpen) from this online auction (had most of the label fall off), and they put it back for auction. The price was way too good.

  At a wine tasting. One of my favorites. Mushrooms, canned asparagus and sous bois. Wonder how this will age - pretty sure it will fare well but can't wait to find some more petroleum notes in this. The fruit is pineapple. Lovely
  
  Bottle opened for a week and now it is all about the raspberries. However, think some of the spritz is gone and acid isn't as powerful. In general I find that white wines don't fare as well once popped opened as red wines. Therefore also hard to talk about aging potential but think it has well over a decade left. Hope my bottles remain plugged for at least that long...
