Forgotten wine #2981 in my collection. Wasn't sure what to expect, but wow. Honeyed pear and strawberry, with incredible balance between richness and acidity. Slight smoky and tropical fruit on the finish. I wish I had many more bottles of it!

A proof that wine bottle under screw cap age well, a nice experience with this aged Riesling delivering a complex and great wine - like in its youth very approachable and friendly wine

Nice stuff with pretty balance between salivating acidity and RS. Positive botrytis spice and developed, honeyed noted add interest but somehow it still stays shy of more-ish.

My wife loved it. For me it was quite tasty but not my favorite that I've tasted this trip.

Smells like: steel wool, lime sorbet, whey, and rain on a tin roof.
Tastes like: white peonies, Cala Cala pith, caramelized pear, electric
Good for: flashback and flash forward scenes in movies about technology, rapini and anchovy with polenta.
