  Deep golden color; bordering on light amber. On the nose kerosene and fyrne which becomes more evanescent with exposure to air.
  On the palate slightly bitter and more fyrn. After a while those impressions subside. The wine, never more than middle weight is svelte and has good balance.
  Has surpassed its apogee quite a few years ago but has kept surprisingly well in view of the not overly great year.
  Mt wife liked it more than I did. tis was my last bottle of 6 originally bought. All the others wer drunk in the eighties and early nineties.

  very smooth and elegant, not in-your-face or powerful at all. Still lively some 1½ hours after decanting, with lemon citrus and some flint. Great acidity balance with some maturity to tone things down.

  Muted nose of petrol, flowers, yellow fruits, apricots and tropical flavors. Still a good amount of energy and great balance. Plenty of acidity left. Has a ways to go.

  Beginning to oxidize. Much better on nose and palate for the first 30 mins versus thereafter. Rich honeyed complexion. Drink soon. 89-

  Wonderful aged Riesling, no petrol, no oxidation just pure fruit with proper development traits. You get some rockmelon and mango and a squeeze of lime. The palate is shapely with a bit of custard lactic action. It has fruit sweetness but finishes with pungent minerality and has remarkable persistence.
