November 18, 2018 - Note: I use a rating scale for which 85 represents a very good wine.
Perhaps a little past its prime, but still thoroughly enjoyable. Pretty traditional spatlese palate. -

December 31, 2009 - A fully mature Riesling. Nicely balanced, just as a hint of sweetness. Can't imagine that any more time in the bottle will matter much. Opened up a little through the bottle.
Also, lots of sediment in this one. No need to decant, just be careful about handling the bottle before and during serving.
