Amazing density and concentration. Candied orange peel, almond kernel and quince open into poached stone fruits and honeysuckle by day 3. Bit long in the tooth, though - lacking some energy, finishes a little flat, slightly bitter.

Auslese, but only listed on the back label. Rich honeyed apricots enjoyed over three days. Advanced color, but absolutely indestructible aromatics & palate richness.

Diesel and white flowers on the nose, with more petrol and white peach in the mouth. There's enough acidity left to balance the sugar, which is still light on the tongue. Great wine, then and now.

Winner of the night. Thick, creamy fruit, very exotic, very long and feels like a never ending sunset on some beautiful island in the middle of the ocean. Beautiful wine!
