  Glass: Zalto Universal
  Popped and poured, drunk over multiple days. Clear, medium golden-amber color. Clean, medium+ intense, developing nose, mostly driven by botrytis flavours. Honey, spices, orange zests, blossoms and a hint of slate. Beautiful and rich.
  On the palate legally dry, meaning with some residual sugar and I would assume some extract sweetness. It suits this wine, but do not try to put it into a tasting with bone dry Rieslings…
  Ripe, medium acidity, 13% abv. Flavours of (bitter) orange and zests, spices, some floral notes combined with a slight mineral core. Lots of extract, depth and density. A bit chubby and creamy, but also with a great balance. This is a wonderful baroque Riesling in the best sense with a long finish. I would say that it is at its full peak, but will stay at this level for quite some time. 92-93

  Long Wine Lunch and Après Lunch (Spago and Wally's - Beverly Hills CA): Ripe peach and mango give an exotic character, but good minerality and acidity provide bright backbone and energy. Good+ length and balance. Good+ now.

  colour fully mature
  strong nose of petrol, wax, honey but also fruit and spice
  age felt much less in the mouth as some countervailing crispness remains

  Lemony colored.
  Very refined nose with mineral notes, citrus fruit and floral aromas, slightly perfumed.
  Crisp on the palate and almost dry although the style of Heymann-Lowenstein is usually fuller and sweeter.
  High acidity balancing high extract. Has a phenolic feel. Clean mineral aftertaste with a slight bitterness.
  Excellent Riesling that could age for many more years.

  Medium to dark straw. Expressive and attractive nose of honey, beeswax, apricot, citrus fruit and scents of kerozene. Medium to full-bodied with noticeable sweetness, richness and a moderate acidity. Long aftertaste. Very enjoyable and surprisingly ripe and mature for a Mosel riesling of this age.
