Totally perfect, for me, or at least close enough to it. Sugar is almost completely resolved and the wine has etherize texture. The aromas are really intoxicating, and far too complicated to do justice to in words: tangerine zest, dehydrated pineapple, apricot eau de vie, oolong tea, pine sap, diesel, dried basil, crunchy black stone. Tremendous. Lengthy. I can't even imagine what the '76 Auslesen are like from more well-known producers and vineyards are like.

Just hands down amazing. Still thinking about this bottle a few weeks latter. Like spring in a bottle.
