Saturated golden color; fully mature, more floral and resolved. Impeccably balanced and a pleasure to drink. Would rank among the best value wine purchases of all time for me as it was low teens on release. 91+

This bottle was far more aged, to the point that it is significantly less enjoyable (but certainly still alive). A bit too syrupy and diffuse. SCARY! This was better the 2nd day. Less soupy ripe tropical character and acid steps up to match the fruit,

Deep straw in color with Golden hue. Nose of dried apricots and apple cider. Taste of apple cider, dried peaches, and hint of lanolin. Lovely acidity and mouth feel. Fairly sweet and still plenty of primary flavors despite nearly 20 years old. Should remain in this drinking window for at least 5 to 7 years. Tasted just as good on day three in the refrigerator.

Medium golden color; rich aged riesling nose of skunky apricot, peaches, baking spices and hints of petrol element. Enormous tension of minerality vs sweet richness, mouth-coating viscosity. Excellent complexity and length. Will need to start chipping away at this well-stored case. Bought these back in the day for a song.
