Honeysuckle and lemon. Soft and ethereal. Still with acid on the end. Not overdone. No cloying sweetness, just flavor with balanced tones of fruit and acid. Tasting window suggests still good through 2030. I’d agree.

Friday Wine Group - GA (Blind Lunch): Gold in color. Nose was flat, with a hint of petrol, and some faint fruit. But the flavor was not. Bright fruit, high acidity, stone fruit, sweet. I called an older Alsace riesling...It was amazing how little the nose matched the palate on this wine. I had very low expectations on first smell, but it tasted great, and was paired with gumbo. The sweetness truly offset the spice.

Oh my goodness, absolutely wonderful wine. 30 years old and in its drinking window but more time possible - probably won't get better though. Only a hint of sweetness, but honey, honeydew melon and a good backbone of acidity still. Great QPR. The only problem now is you can't find it. This bottle was kept well as I see that some other bottles in the TNs are flawed. Really looking forward to my next one.
