By no means a superb wine, but still quite attractive. Started this evening with opening the equivalent ** from 1990 but that wine did not have any wine character. This wine is a lot better. Adding a slight touch of alcohol makes all the differense. The petrol, a sign of maturity, is also integrated in an elegant way in this wine.
A nice example of a mature mosel, and as always with Mosels, with a favorable pricetag.

this is a delicious aged riesling. on the nose there's tons of golden apple, honey and pecan pie aromas. rich, not cloying, with melons, nuts, petrol and minerals. a delicious wine that has aged very well.

Sweet apples and gold raisins. Lacking on acidity, but still firm and good length.
