Great wines come along occasionally; here is one; fifty percent of the reason why Australia's Hunter Valley has international status; and a wine finished with a top draw cork has handled the 29 years; Lindemans #lindemans #semillon #1987 #hunterriver #huntervalley #bin7055 ; colour is full yellow, palate powerful, probably finished off in large oak to give the texture; 10.5%; nose non - aromatic (so not in your face); still the aromas of honey and lanolin; palate big and acidity ripe, not taut like current wine! — 9 years ago

#SchlossReinhartshausen in the 80s was still cranking out some very fine Rheingau Rieslings, but #1987 was a tough year in terms of achieving ideal ripeness and the acidity in this #dry wine is abrasive, even with food. A tad more residual sugar would have been a big help in balancing out the end result. It's seen better days, with or without food. #Riesling #trocken #HattenheimerNussbrunnen — 9 years ago
