  Quite light, moderate sweetness, some complexity. Belies the vintage.

  My last bottle. Eight years since I last tasted this wine. Still youthfull, crystal clear, straw coloured. Lovely nose, very Riesling , somewhat more mellow than previously but still a beautifully balanced wine which I guess will still age . Only 7% alcohol. A stunning wine, wish I had more.

  In terms of pure deliciousness this has to be the best wine I have drunk this year. I use this rather puerile description because it engenders a child-like sense of excitement about the prospect of another sip. It seems to sparkle rather than fizz upon entry such is the energising effect of its acidity. Then, just as one expects some form of vinous sherbet fountain, it glides over the tongue with the weightlessness I love in great Auslese. Before I get too carried away, which of course I am, it may lack something in the midpalate, but then, once more, wow! A never-ending finsh of lemon curd, star anise, stone fruits and, er, pastry. A pudding in a glass, but a fantastically light, delicate palate cleanser worthy of the finest patissier.

  Oh, I was so wrong initially. This has put on weight, still a very delicate wine. Just enough acidity to match a sweetness bordering on GK. Fine length and freshness, honeyed, some grapefruit, minerals and flowers.

  Light color, fresh light berries. Riesling. A sweetnes that dies out too quickly.
