A beautiful pale yellow wine that refracted the light like sunshine shooting from the glass. A harmonious nose of citrus, lime zest, tangerine, sage, slate and flit once the petrol blew off. Medium bodied, velvety textured and soft with flavors of grapefruit, kiwi, acacia, poached pear candies lemon, spices apples and wet slate. The finish was as long as the autobahn and just as racey.

Just stunning. Still shows incredible sugar and acid. Apple, orange blossom and zest, and petrol aromas that sequence into flint, white peach and kiwi flavors after 30 minutes. Really amazing for 19 years.

Unreal. Makes you close your eyes for a second. Spent matchstick, apricot, acid wrapped in sugar wrapped in acid.
