Similar to my last bottle; advanced, but delicious. Very ripe pineapple and apricot notes, with a nice saline minerality in the finish. Plump and corpulent, with adequate (but not great) acidic balance. Drink up.

Past peak but still alive. Baked apple, honey, earth, apricots and pineapple. Seems like there is a bit of mustiness... just barely. Enjoyable but very evolved. A bit disappointing, given the vineyard and vintage.

Cork was saturated to nearly the tip, but no obvious indications of seepage. This wine was very advanced for its age, fairly soft on the palate, with some petrol and hints of peach. sweet, but not overly so. The acid was certainly present, but not as in-your-face as the lemony acid of Mosel wines. FWIW, this was recently acquired with allegedly good provenance, but I am not certain of the storage.

A bit better than my last bottle. Not as advanced, and an interesting, earthy/stoney/flinty quality that intrigues. Bottle variation?

Fully mature, but some life left. Full bodied, white peach and apricot flavors
