MNB: Old wines (Home (Noe st)): (blind) Pale gold color. Ripe aromatic nose of icy tangerine, prominent TDN/petrol, and a hint of botrytis (saffron and toasted rice). Lightly sweet - 15-20 g/L RS Light body, low alcohol - 10% (actually 9%), high (minus) acid. Long finish starting to show some evolution - savory browned dried lemon.
This is a super nice Spatlese-level Riesling that shows some botrytis (you don't always see this at the Spatlese level) and crisp acid.
Guess: 2007 Spatlese Riesling, Mosel.

Bright & lively, with nice acidity backing up the earthy yellow fruit.

Pure, good acidity, lightness, energy. Cellared since original release.

bright citrus fruit, lemon curd, peaches (yellow). beautiful wine in a good place though will easily age for a dozen more years.
