I drank my last of 10 bottles a few days ago. Out of this set of 10 bottles, 3 were premoxed. The fill levels varied widely (by as much as 1 inch). There was no consistency amongst the remaining 7 bottles. Some were great: linear, with an acid core yet textural; others had exotic flavors, some mild botrytis. I hope things have improved but I wanted to share this with the community.
Winferno in Umeå (Stöcksjö, Umeå): My wine of the flight. Yellow. Warm (sunkissed) Riesling with some mature notes. This is very pure and has perfect acidity. Dry like sand in the sun but mild and comforting to the palate. No earthy notes and simply: an amazing wine!
Got the grape right, but ended up in Mosel because of the wine's purity.
If you are stashed: absolutely no hurry.

Even better than last time! Honey, citrus and papaya. A chalky mineral and discreet notes of rugger and petroleum Great mouthfeel and long afterataste. No hurry with these bottles - will hold for another decade!

Light gold color. Some moss and petrol on the nose as expected. Mature, with ripe fruit and a nice long finish. This should hold for some time but enjoyable right now. A-
