  November 14, 2021 - blind, a flight of 3 x 2001
  The "weakest" of the 3, at his peak, old school style, a bit too sweet, some nuts. 93

  February 5, 2020 - Got my hands on another bottle and opened it a few weeks ago. My note from 2018 is definitely related to bottle condition. This one had all the magic of a youthful experience similar to bottle 1.
  
  Drink up fully mature.

  September 7, 2018 - Cork showed signs of seepage.
  Single piece cork rather short for the wine quality.
  
  Not decanted, tasted over 90 minutes
  Evolved pale gold colour.
  
  Nose is discreet, bit shows faint traces of oxidation. Some primary aromas still present (lime, white flowers). Almost no kerosene.
  
  Flavours are clean but overall, i was disappointed by the lack of impact this bottle had on me vs the same one tasted a few years back.
  
  Could be the condition of this particular bottle. Sadly the last of the lot.
  
  Drink or hold

  January 20, 2018 - A tremendous aged Riesling from Rheingau. Breuer is one of best German Riesling producers. I love the 2001 vintage in Germany. Still on the fresh side with a lot of pink grapefruit and yuzu but with a nice beginning of ripeness. Creamy, round and a long clean finish. Some yellow stone fruits in the end palate. Still not at his end, beginning of his peak. 96+
