Oxidation is definitely starting to kick in here, but the complexity of this is stunning. Saffron, curry, hazelnut, dried peach, ginger, deep gold in color, all would indicate a sweet wine, yet in a bizarre twist of events this finishes much drier. Understanding this is a function of age that can be normal in the evolution of an Auslese. Thanks science for making this delicious.

One to write home about 💘
Incredible color - a darker shade of gold. 🍯 Not as sweet as I expected but beautiful nonetheless. Might be peaking now, though...
I’m always so thrilled to drink a wine bottled before I was born, especially a #Riesling (my heart!). 🙉
