We opened this bottle last night for drinking on it's own rather by mistake (SWMBO wanted a 1999 Weil Gräfenberg Kabinett, did not look close enough and picked this one).
Anyway, not a bad mistake.
The colour was light straw, rather golden.
The nose, well, typical of the variety: fresh, fruity, slightly sweet.
On the palate the wine was rather sweet, fruity, with mainly melon and gooseberry tastes. The acids were rather sublime in the background, but definitely there. The whole was quite balanced despite the apparent sweetness. The wine was still so fresh it's hard to believe it's nearly ten years old.
