Noticed something had been dripping in the cellar. On inspecting this, the cork had completely failed, and when it turned it vertical, the cork just dropped into what remained of the wine. Dark brown, oxidised. Some hints of sweet riesling, but sadly just nasty.

A deep, rather oxidised looking orange colour, but with a somewhat healthier looking green rim. Very smoky on the nose, with petrol and raisins. Round and fairly sweet on the attack. Quite forward and distinctly lacking fruit. Some acid. A bit inelegant perhaps. Very Good. 1983 Wehlener Abtei Eiswein, Kloster Machern, AP 1 640 767 25 84. No alcohol content shown. A second bottle with the same AP number says explicitly Riesling Eiswein and 9% abv.

Edinburgh Offline (Peter's Cellars): AP 1 640 767 25 84 Smoky, almost oaky-peaty nose with waxy overtones. Immediate impact. Notably sweet, deep and concentrated. Good acidity to balance. Possibly a little simple, but undoubtedly jolly nice. Fades quite quickly on the palate. Very Good Indeed.
