  This wine spend almost 25 years in my cellar and saw only one or two movements.
  Still a very good filling level, right below the cork. Cork completely dry, sticking to the glass, crumbling center while pulling the cork.
  
  Dark golden with some lemon yellow sparks.
  Pretty weak after opening. Needs one ore two days (!) in the fridge to gain back flavour and body.
  After long aeration in best case you´ll be rewarded with lots of citrus and flowers on the palate, hints of honey, freshness and a medium sweetness. Complex, long and an almost dry and zesty finish.
  Very elegant and great wine after all these years. A perfect sundowner after a hot day thanks to a very low alcohol level (8% abv).
  Drink up.

  Must have been a fabulous wine; now missing a bit the body, but still perfect acidity and some sweetness.
