  Magic in a bottle!
  Terrible cork with STINKY slimy mold and took ages to extract...
  
  Straight from the btl:
  Unusual aromas, thin, acidic and not pleasant.
  
  After 3 hrs of decanting:
  Glistening golden colour.
  Beautiful deep and beautiful diesling aroma spectrum: honey, white flowers, lemon zest, lime, various mashed fruits and petrochemical presence.
  Mouth: Such a smooth and velvety mouthfeel with the perfect acidity caressing your inner self. Omm-nom-nom! This is good! Long and special.
  
  Wish I had bought many more when I had the chance!

  Behövde ett par timmars luftning.
  Underbart gyllene.
  Lena dofter med honung, mosade frukter och petrokemi.
  I munnen smeker detta på alla korrekta vis.

  Not as fantastic as the previous btl. Still a foul cork with extreme mould. Prying up the cork, it emitted an orange-brown goo that was difficult to wash off of my hands as I had to unscrew the cork from the cork screw... Thoroughly cleaned up the inside of the neck of the btl.
  
  Ah, the chores we nerds need to suffer for the Art of the Drunken Palate!!!
  
  Amazingly enough, the wine was uncompromised, but one clear step down from the previous bottle. However, menacing my way through foul corks like this one is completely worth it with juice like this! MEGA WOW!

  I munnen smeker detta på alla korrekta vis och är alldeles för bra för den enda rätt den passar till under kvällen: en havs-surpris

  This btl also displays a prominent moldy smell of the cork, but had not entered the wine. Wine is pristine :-)
  
  Golden yellow.
  Mature, deep Diesling nose towards thick oilbased paint for garages. Not for the faint of heart.
  In the mouth this is simply the most sensual kiss. Aaaamzing! Balance, deliciousness, acids, richness, length, composition… To die for! At its peak and (corks permitting) will remain here for at least another decade. A complete Mosel with only a hint of sweetness, carrying this beauty on its back. This is insane!
  
  An auction bargain of 3 btls. Should have gone for more lots…
  
  Absolutely no hurry, will be on top of its game for at least another decade.
  
  One btl to go.

  The cork smelled strongly of mould and since it was a leaky btl with a tremendously soft cork, the mouldy aromas had already taken over the wine.
  
  Probably a foul health hazard to drink.
  Sinked it.
  Opened the next one.
