A real nice showing, hard to believe it's 22 years old. Color still shimmering bright and the aromatics are generous with exotic yellow tropical fruit and just a hint of petrol. Nice mouth feel with a dry yet rich texture and balanced medium finish with good acidity to keep it all together. This has the stuffing to keep going further although i don't see much more upside in terms of flavor development. Consider me a fan.

Tight seal on the cork, this bottle was less advanced than I expected. Some classic petrol, but interspersed nicely with white florals and lemon. Rich and fuller bodied but, given the vintage, not at all tropical or heavy. Ripe peach. Lovely bottle.

Unmistakably Riesling with that rich, unctuous Petrol character, with lots of peach and ripe apple. Very good now, should continue to drink well for another 5+ years.

Much more developed than the GV from the same address. Some depth to it, mature apples.

Prager Dinner with Robert Bodenstein (Chicago, IL): To my palate, this was stewy and heat-damaged; interestingly, the 2000 Klaus also suffered the same fate.
