Tasting notes

Fine bottle with high fill. Seems like a well-stored bottle from this small and rare vintage. Deep golden colour. Botrytis on the nose. Hints of tea-leafs and earth. Some dried flowers. Fullbodied in the mouth. Residual sugars are mostly rounded and this seems to have only light sugars left. Round and kind acidity. The fruit lacks a little concentration and I guess this perhaps always did. Some dried flowery fruit. Apparent botrytis. This must have had quite some. Hints of tea-leafs and an aged earthiness. Medium to low acids. There is some dryness on the finish that probably comes from enhanced tannins due to the botrytis. This is drinkable and nice enough aged Mosel-riesling. But this is fading, so drink up now.
