Still stay colored, the acid has outlasted the sugar on this one, though the fruit is dried, peach and apricot, the structure really drives this. A bottle in good condition has another decade, but just remember the acid will grow in dominance. Not pleasurable on its own

This is drinking superbly right now. There's a core of fresh white peach and citrus fruit flavours with an underlying crushed stone mineral element, and a more savoury, developed creamy character that emerges with air. The sweetness is rather restrained - this is very much a classical Spätlese rather than being a small/declassified Auslese, and there's bright acidity beneath that keeps it very nicely balanced.
