I tasted kiwi and pineapple in a nice Golden wine. The sweetness was just about perfect to be a balance to the flavors. When refirigerator-cold, the wine showed a bit bitter, but at proper serving temp., that all went away. Medium long finish with green apple on the end

German Riesling from 1971 to 2012 (Los Gatos, California): Dull yellow/light golden color. Lively petrol nose with light honey. Crisp, lighter weight, great acidity, lower residual sugar. Fresh, elegant, and flowing but marred by an out of place bitter element on the finish. By its weight, I thought it was one of the Mosel wines in the flight.

Similar to last time but with a bit more weight and somewhat less acidity. This was more like an Auslese. However, it all still netted out to about the same score

This bottle was extremely disappointing. It was not a bad wine but just missed the level it should have been at. Fruit was light and acid was not in balance. Still a respectable wine with tropicals up front and citrus on the end. score 87-88
