49er

1949er Kempinski & Co, Alsheimer Sonnenberg, Riesling-Sylvaner Spätlese;
A label reading Riesling Sylvaner means Müller Thurgau! At 60 years of age! Most aren't drinkable when young even. Bright amber, B lebel fill, caramel, minerals, candid apples, some botrytis, touch of nuts and raisins, no petroleum. Dry, fresh acidity, a bit lean and hollow, brown, and way overripe apples, almost rotten. This is way beyond any expectations, old, very mature, but alive and kicking. Good length. 84
