  Wowsa. Strong pink grapefruit notes on the nose and attack lead to ripe peardrops and honeysuckle on the finish. Still notably sweet but with significant acidity, I'd be inclined to wait 10 more years. My cork was soaked and my bottles were bought and shipped (for a day within europe) directly from the winery and have been in a 12C cellar ever since.

  Gold with orange and amber hue. Quince, brown sugar, oranges and mango. On the palate viscous, the sweetness largely unintegrated, but nicely balanced by refreshing and lingering acids. This is ready to drink, but with more time in the bottle it will possibly shed some of its superficial sweetness. Now it is great to go with a vanilla cream or something like that, or as a dessert in small quantities because of its somehow demanding character. Sadly the cork of this bottle was completely soaked, so maybe it is not the wine that limits the aging potential of these bottles. If the cork keeps being intact, this is going to keep for two more decades. 5/13/18/10 -2038 if perfect storage is provided.

  (Half bottle) This wine is very, very deep gold with a suggestion of amber at its core. The nose is somewhat retrained but ripe fruit and spice aromas do slowly emerge. Rich, thick and creamy yet surprisingly layered on the palate: grilled pineapple, pear, apple, apricot, and minerals are cleanly delineated by an acidity that is lip smacking, cleansing and persistent. Very harmonious and mellow. While fantastic, it was ultimately surpassed by an unearthly 1976 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese served alongside it. 97+

  Intense pear drops on the nose, closing down a little on the palate now
