  Cellar-direct from Dr. Loosen, deep gold in color, nose of honey, and slight hint of wild flowers and petrol. On palate, very fine acidity that provide freshness to the medium sweet wine, some zest too. Very honey driven, almost like a sauternes but agn the acidity shines here. Finishing is silky smooth, a very nice aged riesling.

  Dark straw gold color. Sultry nose, with mandarin, dried apricots, home made figs jam, honey comb, rhubarb but also some dry old wood (oxidation). On the palate dried fruits and rich but missing the Mosel Riesling acidity. Oxidation notes on the palate as well, having doubts about the storage of this bottle. The Haag BJS 1994 GK beside it did better.

  Pale yellow color. aromas like lemon lime water-ice with peach skin. Touch of petrol on the nose as well. On the palate the wine has great acidity and length with medium sweetness.

  A lot of wine on top of the cork under the capsule - something you come across occasionally with Mosel Ausleses.
  Very pale, almost clear. Yet at the same time a deep, rich lemon gold at rim. very pale watery green at the centre. Honeyed nose with a hint of apples, but rather thin. Quite light on the attack. Some honey and richness comes through on the middle. Then some acidity comes through to balance it. Very good length. Very clean and elegant throughout: fresh and quite bracing. Disappointingly thin. This wine fell so far below my expectation of it that I don't think it can rank more than Very Good at most.
