  Old cork with mold on the top. That usually means a great Riesling is inside in my experience :-)
  
  Cork came out whole. Nose was intoxicating, with a whiff of petrol then a rich, heavy, floral/honey scent.
  Palate was light, rich, sweet, long and clean. Nicely balanced and very nice with the spicy Thai food.
  I don't drink these wines much any longer and every time I pop one of these I wonder why I don't...lovely bottle.
  Would buy again.

  Light yellow in color. Classic Riesling aromas of orchard pit fruits, yellow flowers, touch of petrol and green herbs. Light-medium bodied palate shows peach/pear compote, vanilla bean, green herbs, lower acidity than in previous bottles and a long sweet finish. Not bad with food, but needs a good jolt of acidity to keep things fresh on the palate.

  Medium yellow in color. Lovely aromas of sweet summer orchard pit fruit compote, lemon-grass, flint, hint of petrol and honeysuckle. A thick, viscous palate shows good depth to the quite cooked yellow fruits, creamy vanilla poached pears and minerals on a long and sweet finish. A touch more acidity would have helped elevate the wine. Nevertheless this showed better than a previous bottle.

  Medium yellow in color. Deep aromas of ripe citrus (more yellow than green), lemon zest, green herbs and brown spices on the nose. A medium bodied palate shows perfect balance with ripe, sweet citrus marmalade, honey and excellent acidity that keeps the wine well balanced on a lengthy lip-smacking finish. This is a much better showing then the previous bottle.

  Light to medium yellow in color. Opens with classic petrol, sweet citrus, peaches and herbs. A rather flat palate reveals sweet ripe orchard fruits, lemon curd and touch of minerality on the finish. The wine needs a lot more zing (acidity) and spice to keep it more interesting. Ehhh..., quite drinkable but too simple and one dimensional.
