Served after the 2011 Van Volxem Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Alte Reben. This for me embodies more what makes Riesling so great...Almost dry now, but an impressive wine nonetheless. Bottled in 700ml bottle. A.P. Nr. 3 518 034-006-76

Amazing. I bought this from Crush a year or so ago. I seldom get to drink perfect aged Riesling such as this. This gold-yellow wine has perceptions of spicy gingered pineapples, sweet and still bright acidity, dried grass, cooked/candied orange peel, and a slick brownish mineral quality. Yum yum. Forgive me if my descriptions are not perfect as I am swimming in uncharted waters here... and I love it!

Clos des Réas / Pontet-Canet tasting-cum-lunch (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam, NL): Light and refined, pure like a mountain stream, delicately sweet, intensity without weight, flowers and slate, long and elegant.

A private tasting (Restaurant De Gieser Wildeman *, Noordeloos, Netherlands): Medium yellow colour, golden tinge; medium dry palate, has lost a lot of sweetness, mature, hint of petrol, bitters from the aged botrytis, youthful, good length. Impressive for what it is.

VinoLaprisco Tasting (Restaurant De Karpendonkse Hoeve *, Eindhoven, Netherlands): Drying, mature, Alpine herbs, deep, still shows definition and style. Quite different from the previous bottles.
