Got in a recent auction mixed lot. Looks old, the colour is of Brown sherry. However what is in the glass in remarkable. Limes intermixed with barley sugar. Sweet and with lovely zingy acidity. Classic mature, sweet Riesling with all the character.

Confirming that this is a very good wine in the context of this vintage. Still youthful, lots of ripe cassis fruit. Low acidity but enough lift to give it lift and focus and the tannins are well in check. Now or over the next couple of decades.

Decent champagne. Slightly red fruited, light brioche. Nice to see how it ages. Garden drinking fizz.
