  Light yellow-gold in the glass, with a nose best described as white fruit cocktail over slate. Slight petrol note as well. Great nose, even if my choice of words in describing it doesn't really do it justice.
  
  Dry and expansive on the palate, sweet and salty white fruits - delicious, and probably at peak.

  Ripe and rich for a Riesling - this is very good, yet larger-scaled than you might expect. This has been an interesting wine to see develop over the years - at this point, slightly deficient in acidity, so it might be starting to slowly decline.

  My better half is preparing a pork roast in an apricot-mustard sauce, so I thought I would pair that up with a couple Riesling.
  
  This is light yellow-gold in the glass, with an awesome nose - petrol-marinated white fruits (Apple most prominently) - it's like minerality oozing from the glass!
  
  Good acidity, dry, nice persistence. In fairness, the palate is not quite up to that otherworldly nose, but this is drinking very, very well tonight.

  Quite dry, nicely balanced, good acidity - no idea how much longer this might last, but it's drinking very well today.
