Amazing freshness, tasting a lot more Spatelese than Kab. Lots of still-pristine, but very concentrated white stone fruit, sweet Thai basil and Phô greens play together with this nougat-esque nutty quality. Jasmine-lemon custard. White tea jelly. Suggestions of cold-smoked meatiness abide, but are never aggressively realized. Zero botrytis. I wish everything from the 90s I tasted was half as pristine as this. Lord knows how aggressively it might have been sulphured, but if this is wrong, I don't want to be right. — 9 years ago

1979 - An esoteric experience. Still fresh, rich in texture and complexity, very very drinkable... :-) Great expression of Mosel Riesling. — 9 years ago

Great Xmas day breakfast wine! Smashed this baby with Bircher Muesli & Eggs Benedict. Love German Riesling when it gets a bit of age on it & the flavours layer up! — 11 years ago

Unfortunately, don't have the opportunity to drink this one, but seeing the bottle was worth 9.6. — 10 years ago
