deep yellow colour indicating some age, nose luscious, fruit salad, with power, palate has hints of sweetness from the fruit but a markedly dry finish, real power and intensity, still very good but may have been even better with more freshness rather than age a few years back, still thoroughly enjoyed to the last mouthful, classic aged Alsace Riesling

pale gold colour, reflecting its age, nose rich, with depth, fruit salad, palate almost oily, coats the mouth, real depth, good clean finish, good wine, may perhaps have been even better with more freshness a few years back, but certainly a very good example of an aged Alsace Riesling

The colour was light golden. There were typically Riesling white fruit, flower and lightly spiced aromatics in full bloom with mineral and hydrocarbon touches. The palate was linear in shape with a good spine and quite opulent with some RS, about 6-8g/l I guess, but there was lots of lively acidity with the result that the overall impression was dry, but far from bone dry, and very food friendly with some deliciously fresh scallops and Ste.Maure goat cheese. Very good.

deep yellow colour, rich rather soft fruit, not much acid remaining, still good but probably better a few years back
