  Pulled this from the rack as the capsule looked a bit swollen from a bit of leakage, but if it had been leaking, it had stopped, and the there was no mould on top of the cork. The cork itself was damp and crumbly throughout, and took a bit of a struggle to extract it in as few pieces as possible. My homemade Durand imitation (i.e. using a long threaded corkscrew and a butler's thief in conjunction) got it out though.
  The colour is on the deeper side of mid gold.
  Clearly riesling on the nose, and mature riesling at that. Barley sugar, bruised windfall sweet apples, and a little smokiness.
  On the palate, it's pretty much as you would expect from the nose: mature riesling, feeling slightly sweet initially, but the sweetness is allayed by the acidity that's still clinging on. Remarkably little raisining on the palate.
  Just feels a little hollow and not int eh best condition.

  Lovely. Obviously Riesling. A tad hollow in the middle if I were to split hairs. Still hugely enjoyable.

  Djupt gul.
  
  Doft av bivax, päron, tropisk frukt med annanas och mogna söta meloner i förarsätet. Lägg till rapshonung och nytvättade kläder till det.
  
  Smakar gyllene i sig. Det finns en härligt angenäm syra som ligger fint integrerad med söta vita frukter, passionsfrukt, päron, honungsmelon, extremt lätta fina och söta citrontoner. Otroligt bra balans.
  
  Och fantastiskt bra till asiatiska små rätter med lite kraft, styrka, sötma och chilitoner i.

  Extremely well balanced wine with exactly the right combination of a developed wine with good acidity and lots of life left.
