Deep lemon coloured, medium intensity, brilliant. Developed(+), medium(+) intensity nose. Typical riesling. Fresh, lemon. A hint of bicycle workshop in the background. Minerality. On the palate a touch of sweetness, high acidity, medium(-) body. 12,5%. Very good length. Depth and intensity in flavours; lemon, wet stone, bicycle workshop. Soft mouthfeel to start, then the acidity hits. Delicious.
From additional bottle info about the "J" bottling: "Geheimrat Julius Wegeler was the founder of the Wegeler Estates. In 1882 he acquired his first vineyards of today's properties in the major Riesling growing areas Rheingau and Mosel. In honour of the founder this Riesling was named Geheimrat "J". It is a blend of the best "First Growth" vineyards of the estate, which is composed according to the principles of the leading Chateaus in Bordeaux. To perfectly present this dry and elegant Spätlese, it is filled into the traditional Rheingau bottle, which was used over 100 years ago."

From a bottle of dubious provenance. Medium yellow colour. In the nose, it's intact, but shows strong signs of age with mushrooms and honey. In the mouth, it's quite sweet, it tastes stale, the acidity is not integrated, it tastes a bit like bubble gum in the finish.

From double-magnum. Served as aperitif, no formal notes. Very pure fruit, precise and clean. Quite powerful with lots of energy, slightly mineral, very well balanced, good length. 92-94

White evening at Biggan's (Umeå, Sweden): Just about approaching early maturity. Lovely dry Riesling with subdued petrochem aromas. Quite dry with balanced acids and a tad earthy note on the finish. This fabulous wine is built well around its high concentration, rendering it powerful, yet elegant and long without being headstrong. Would love to meet this again around ~2018.

As an aperitif, i'd say the acidity has gone down a little bit to much. But with food, this is in a really good place right now. Flowery pineapple. sweet lemon, a touch of something herbal and mineral towards slate. I don't see the hurry to drink up, but if you like your riesling with sparky acidity there's no point in waiting much longer.
