This is my third try for this wine and by far the best bottle. I decanted this one for maybe half and hour to an hour, which may have helped. It showed a deeper gold than the previous tries, though it shows very fresh, with white flowers, apple blossom, and citrus fruits. A lovely wine, still medium-sweet.

Pig Roast (Solace - NYC): Same as the last bottle. Amazingly fresh for such an old wine, but not a great deal of interest either. I much prefer the 1990.

Absolutely stunning. Golden color with very bright fruit and lots of acidity. There is some petrol on the nose, but not overpowering. Still has years left in it. I mainly drink younger Riesling, so this wine is somewhat of a revelation for me.

Nice, still fresh, only a hint of petrol in the background, but not a whole lot going on. Maybe medium sweet at this point.
