A very pretty Auslese Riesling that is probably in a good, mature place right now. It took a while for the muted nose to open and show ripe pineapple and apricot notes. The palate had shed most of its lush sweetness but still had a wonderfully full, creamy mouth feel along with lively acidity that made itself known with a few minutes of air time. Held about a glass in the bottle for after the meal and found it to be substantially better, with a far more complex palate, showing great fruit and spice.

An Amazing Christmas Dinner (San Francisco): Much more pleasing weight, balance, acidity, and purity of the stone fruit than the 1990 version poured before it.
