1998 vintage. In magnum. Medium golden hue. I feared some oxidation from the colour but was pleasantly surprised by the nose - very Riesling like: cirrus and camphor oil, floral in nature. On the palate, very high acidity edging to tartness. Peach and apricot with air, medium minis alcohol. Decent length. Not bad at all and with air the wine improved. Drink now. Not meant for further ageing.
