Well this is just about damn perfect. First things first, the cork was in excellent condition. The color of this baby is glorious. A dark golden illustrious color in the glass. A bit of diesel gas on the nose initially but that fades rather quickly. The nose here is outrageous with plenty of floral notes and well defined fruit. Brown sugar and cinnamon, pineapple and stones. The citrus fruit comes through over time. I don’t want to be too effusive in my praise of this gem but it’s hard not to. Sexy and showing so much depth at this stage. In tip top condition and evidently with much more time left, this is drinking so well right now. The acid still shows a bit and the sweetness level is optimal. More wet rocks and still lively fruit on the palate. Long sumptuous finish with just the faint whisper of warm spice. This Riesling captured me a little bit, and I like that. Gorgeous.

A beautiful Auslese, if a bit lacking in the acidity that is more evident in the 01. Probably timeless, but drinking very well now.
