The fruit flavours are very muted, making the cat's pee, minerality and white flower notes more upfront and obvious than one would expect of a Rheingau riesling. Very unbalanced and on the way down.

Was sceptical whether this would still hold up after 11 years, most of which having been stored under less than ideal conditions. But turned out fabulous on the night - awesome nose of ripe stone fruits, great texture, a hint of sweetness and a little bit of acidity left. A great example of an aged, dry(ish) Rheingau Riesling!

I thought that this was good but not great. hints of botrytis maybe on nose, full flavored and good acid, just not inspiring despite the post off price

Wonderful and will continue improving. A bit sweeter than I expected--but plenty of acid and fruit.
