AP 2 577 264 8 94 7.5% abv Palish lemon gold colour. Attractive, mature riesling nose. Slightly rotting apples, something a touch smoked fish, a hint of raisins and hot slate. Very good mature palate. Initially it feels a bit rich and sweet, but is absolutely bone dry on the finish. Very clean. Excellent character. 14/15 years since I last opened one of these, and it's remarkable how little it has changed.

(Opened for cooking a veal tail blanquette.) Pale to mid gold. Extremely minerally nose. Round and mature on the palate. Quite buttery, creamy rich. Good acidity, but it's firmly in balance. Very Good +

A pale lemon gold with green tinges. Minerals and cream on the nose, though not especially petrolly. Fully mature on the palate with an interesting smoky flavour. Very crisp and very clean, precise flavours. A nice balance of fruit (if not especially fresh fruit) and a clean acid. Very Good Indeed.

A watery mid gold in appearance. This has a really gorgeous aged riesling nose with smoky petrol notes and some elegant slightly raisined fruit. Very good on the attack: clean, ripe and full. Excellent balance. Elegant yet very rich. ripe fruit, yet really quite dry. Excellent length. A magnificent wine. Excellent. 7.5%, AP 2 577 264 8 94

AP 2 577 264 8 94 7.5% abv A mid greenish gold. Petrolly, waxy nose. Clean and fresh on the attack with crisp appley flavours. Develops a certain creaminess with lots and lots of minerality. Very Good Indeed.
