  Late harvest fruit but still more dry than not. Delicious with salmon. With Janet, Jeff, and Todd.

  This bottle was clearly not nearly as good as the previous tasters´ ones, although iit looked good with almost no ullage. In the nose old apples, cookies, and mushrooms taking over after a while. In the mouth some residual sugar - not too much -, burnt sugar, alcohol shining through, with bitter finish. Interesting in a way, but falling apart.

  Copper coloured, cork was in great condition and less than half soaked. Popped and poured straight from the wine fridge.
  Nose of marmalade and honey on toast. The nose blind I would have guessed a Sauternes. Still had a great freshness with no petrol or stickiness.
  High intensity acid with the taste reflecting the nose. Again had a Sauternes feel without the richness and sweetness. There is a little bit of rs but it's well kept in check with the acid. Finish was long, and kept me going back for more.
  This was delicious, but I can't see it getting any better. I wish I had more, but was a great bottle as a once off.

  Klar strågul, mot bronse.
  Klassisk rieslingnese med skifer, petroleum, men mere aprikos og blomster. Veldig floral, noe som bringer meg mere i retning rieslaner/ pinot blanc. Initiellt lekker rieslingfrukt, kalk, petroleum, blomster. Mye blomster, som bringer meg mere i retning rieslnaser, men av høy kvalitet. Etterhvert pendlet vi oss inn mot alsace pga floralitet og oksidasjon. Lekker vin.

  Golden amber colour. Medium bq w red apples, honey, caramel, minerals. Medium+ body w bright acidity, slightly receding fruit, some sweetness (but not much for a VT). Aftertaste w acidity and sweet apple juice, finish with alcohol (14%). Still enjoyable, but drink up!
