  My previous tasting notes still apply, although I must say that it feels like time has not done any good to this wine.
  
  The nose is more dominated by old wool socks and lanolin with very little, if any, fruit and freshness remaining. The wine feels quite stuffy, thin and dull on the palate with quite dominant woolly notes and prominent stone dust and wet stoon flavors. The finish is pretty dried-up, flat and slightly bready.
  
  This is a curiosity, but it offers very little pleasure beyond its curiosity value.

  Tasted in a presentation of Müllen's matured wines on 4 March 2017. In the company of mainly Rieslings, it is kind of hard to assess and appreciate a non-Riesling, such as this weissburgunder. Your first thought is: something is missing, i.e. the acidity of Riesling. We tasted apple, rounded acidity, and concluded that this might work with white asparagus.

  10,5% alcohol.
  
  Pale green color. Characterful, somewhat developed and a bit odd nose that feels both dry and sweet at the same time with surprisingly fresh aromas of slightly dried yellow apple, some woolly character and a hint of leafy greenness. The wine is ripe, broad and round on the palate with gentle flavors of slightly dried tart green apple, some peach, a little bit of stone dust and a hint of wool. Overall the fruit seems to have dried up and fallen apart a little and the wine is lacking a bit structure, being only medium in acidity. The finish is somewhat dull and a bit short with rather simple flavors of ripe apple and some dusty, stony minerality.
  
  Overall a rather unimpressive Weissburgunder that seems to have suffered from the prolonged aging. Overall the fruit department has lost intensity and the wine doesn't seem to be one that has ever been a particularly complex one, so there hasn't been much to develop from in the first place. This is pretty enjoyable little wine and it is always interesting to taste Pinot Blanc at +15 years of age, but I suspect this has been much more interesting younger. Feels a bit overpriced at 10,50€, unless you want to pay for the curiosity value.
