Not the greatest vintage for dry Alscace of course and that combined with what is evidently the house style means that this is essentially medium sweet. With the acidity gone this is rich, but ultimately cloying. £-5 years past its best I'd suggest.

Deep yellow, very mature on the nose, Concentrated fruit but the acid is low. Should have been drunk 2 years ago unless you love over-the-hill residual sugar Alsace Riesling.

A mid-deepish gold. Big round, minerally nose with some baked apple fruit and a touch of sweetness. Oh, hello, big boy! This is big, powerful stuff on the palate. Rather blowsy with some clear residual sugar revealing itself in a caramel flavour that slightly dominates the finish. I think this needs more time. And indeed, the next day the remaining half of the bottle was much improved.

Deepish straw. Ripe, minerally nose with honey and sufficient mango-ey tropical fruit that it would be easy to wander off to pinot blanc or even pinot gris if tasting blind. There's just enough wet paving slabs there on the nose to comfort me that this hasn't got the wrong label. Holy cow! This is one humdinger of a ripe wine. Very concentrated and very powerful. Initially there's more than a touch of sweetness, but there's also lots of a curiously soft acid, which becomes more apparent the longer the wine is in the mouth, and on the finish at the tip of the tongue. Enormous length. Really quite a strange wine, even for an off-dry Alsace riesling. Shows a bit more riesling character in a Riedel riesling glass. Very Good Indeed.
