| Pale gold in color. It had lots of fruity aromas such as peach. There was a frontal attack of acid, however the wine was very nicely balanced. Slightly sweet on the finish. Most of us guessed that this was German in origin. There was an interesting mix of minerals at the back of the throat right as you swallowed.

| | Good notes. Please add whether it is a kabinett, spatlese, etc., the price, and any other qualifiers. I'm interested in getting some. Thanks. | | | |

| | I'm horrible at reading German labels. I will see most of the people from the tasting this weekend and will find out who brought this and the price and any other info that they can give me. | | | |

| Thanks. Know what you mean. It's not like 99 Bryant (and that is all you need) (not that I have any). Fortunately, I took 3 years of German. Doesn't help in understanding what the words mean, but you get used to the long words.

| | In 1971, that was one of the top wines and was fairly expensive ($5-6 then). Sounds like it is still pretty good. Unfortunately, it is hard ratings on German wines. | | | |
