Spring is here again, tender age in bloom. So opulently fruity, balanced and delicious

Distanced BD tasting/dinner. Delicious. Bone dry. Viscous. Apricots from Botrytis. Wonderful with smoked salmon.

A little bitter almond on the edges. Better near room temp.

Alluring nose of caramelized apples and quince, but rather flabby for a Riesling. Lacks freshness.

18 years old with so much life! This was an absolute joy to drink over about an hour. There's serious pedigree here and I'm now looking at my cellar in disgust for not having more Alsatian Riesling.
