the nose was sooo fragrant. Obviously very much oxidized so there's that marmalade both on the nose and the palate. The palate was ripe but the acidity was still there. Got some lemon, Chinese angelica, caramelized sugar, straw, a little flint and petrol, and also vanilla on the nose. Drinking really well.

Color is medium golden. On the nose: tropical fruits, lemon, paraffin, minerals and a bit of honeysuckle. On the palate: apricot, honey, paraffin and lemon. Great density and acidity. First time I’ve had a Riesling with this much age. This is wonderfully complex and integrated. It is really hitting the mark for me. I love it.

Thai Dinner with Some Old Riesling (San Francisco): Deep yellow-very fine color for its age. It took a bit of time to sort out the nose-is this light cork or mature Riesling? With air, happily the latter. Medium weight, completely dry, lemon and faint peach, superb acidity and soil to burn. An elegant, classic version of Clos Ste. Hune, neither as flashy as the 1989 nor as deep and intense as the 1990.
