  Completely oxidized, which surprised me. Bought 15 years ago and stored well since, this was very enjoyable when last opened a decade ago.

  Brown syrup in the glass. Nose of cobbler, citrus, honey, canned pear, flint, cinnamon and lychee. Med-lite body with smoked peach, honey, canned pear, tangerine, earth and cinnamon on the palate. Secondary brown sugar and brûlée. Med-short finish. Decent acidity and minerals, but not enough structure to hold its gooey, bordering on cloying, fruit.

  Bright gold. Aged, total mineral and beyond petrol aromas, a bit shy at first, but became more pronounced as it warmed up a bit. Palate is quite delicate, lighter then medium weight, and all minerals. Cerebral, rather than hedonistic. Medium finish.

  (at Abacrombie – Baltimore) – deep golden but not oily. Initial cheesy nose. This blows off after 5 minutes to reveal intoxicating tangerine and apricot aromas. Deep, mature, complex, captivating. The palate is dry, but there is so much Riesling extract that the wine is a perfect balance of sweet fruit, secondary notes, balancing structure. I am really impressed and will need to go back to the cellar to see if I can find more. Glorious!!!!! I don’t know how an Alsatian wine could provide more pleasure (20)

  Subdued tone fruit aromas to start. Palate begins with prominent acidity and minerality with peach and apricot flavors soon unfolding. High acid. Bone dry. Needs more time.
