Weingut Robert Weil, Kiedricher Wasseros Riesling Auslese, Rheingau

Deeper amber color; age is evident, for me nose shows a distracting chemical smell- a smell that happens with older Riesling (maybe it is the high acid interacting with the cork for 47 years in this case), developed golden fruit, mushrooms; still sweet on the palate but in a state that is more open and seemingly expressive and mineral, a nice purity to it, not dead but peaking, would love to sit with this and pick out all of it’s …

Still has plenty of life and freshness with good acidity and a very long finish that lingers on and on.
