Nose of lime, lychee and a touch of petrol. Light on its feet, this is a nice easygoing Kabinett style Riesling with good freshness and enough complexity to keep interested.

This was very interesting. Had a terrific smell, with loads of petroleum, white fruit and white flowers. Very fresh! The palate differed, though, as it was already very mature, and tasted like 30 year old Auslese. I think it has many years left, but I'm not sure it will improve. There is simply too little sweetness for it to age truly well. It would have been an amazing wine for sushi, though.

Dobbeltdekantert og servert 3 t etterpå. Kork delte seg i to. Jeg føler dette er noe av problemet til flere kvalitetsrieslinger, at de er svovlet nok for lagring, men putter i dårlige korker som avkorter deres liv. Til ribbe julaften. Min beste flaske så langt. Holdt fint til dag 2 også. Virkelig super!

Bad cork. Developed, but attractive Riesling aromas. Relatively ripe, rich and full bodied for this wine. Feels like it is more developed than it should have been.

Hint av petro på duft, ellers mildt tropisk frukt retning melon. Etterhvert et blomsterlig preg også. Klart lagringspreg i munnen, men med litt frukt også- igjen moden melon. Også et litt kjølig myntepreg i munnen. Men har ikke helt fylden og kompleksiteten som burde fulgt med lagringen og mangler litte grann på friskheten. Kanskje ikke topp flaske? Integrert restsødme som ikke er veldig merkbar.

This is such a special wine. From Denmark to the USA. Just off dry with great richness for a Saar wine. Fruit, smoke, herbs and saline nose. Palate is long. This is just an infant. Will taste another one in four or five years.

Dom Pérignon / Vosne-Romanée Tasting-cum-Lunch (Restaurant Slagerij De Beurs, Amsterdam, NL): Magnum. Waxy, peach, slate, delicately sweet, cream and spice, a delightful Riesling, at peak.

Hmm, not really flesh nor fowl. Ok, but lacks excitement, tension and depth. Certainly a very good wine, but not my preferred Zilliken style.

Grosse Gewächse Presentation (Conservatorium Hotel, Amsterdam, NL): Retailer tasting, brief note. Maturing beautifully, wax and spicy minerality, fresh and exciting, lovely complexity and length.

Very honeyed nose, smooth in the mouth, and very long.

Slightly off bottle. Have had better. Didn't improve over two days. Hopefully just this bottle.

A liquid definition of elegance and subtlety. Perfect harmony. A wonder in a glass.

Expressive, yet elegant aromas of yellow fruits. Tender and delicate in the mouth with a semi dryness that balances the acidity.
