Lacking in almost all acidity, but some decent soft apple and pear notes. I'd pair it more with dessert, though it wasn't sweet. It was a total fail with the Thai Carrot Ginger Bisque that I'd pulled it for, not having the acidity to cut the creaminess of the bisque.

Stored in a refrigerator since purchase from Garagiste back in 2011, cork was tight and pristine when pulled. Dark gold, deep amber color when poured into a Riedel glass. Unfortunately, the aromas and taste were of badly bruised apples, without any of the telltale petrol, lime, or fresh apricot flavors that I would associate with a Riesling. As best I can tell it was Premox'ed probably from a very ripe vintage and a producer who uses lower levels of sulfur dioxide in the biodynamic wine making process. Other notes seem to confirm a number of flawed bottles.

Ripe apple fruits, touch of the tropical. Soft, with acidity faded. Not particularly distinguished.

Another pretty terrible bottle. After a few days became marginally drinkable.
