This wine is 11 years old and it is still drinking wonderfully, although I would recommend popping that cork now rather than waiting. Classic Alsace Riesling characteristics, with a round body and excellent balance between citrus fruits and terroir notes of stone and crustacean shells. A kick of orange zest and petrol line the lengthy finish.
