Bürklin-Wolf Wachenheimer Gerümpel Riesling Auselese 1989 - Pfalz; 10,5% abv; 25€To compare with the somewhat Riesling-like Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc 1996 we decided to open a mature Riesling, too. Scarily orange colour. But the wine was fine. Aged aromas of singed copper kettle, but with a pure, citric Riesling aroma overriding everything else. Off-dry, quite full bodied, lively. A little strange in how frighteningly old it looked, how wonderfully mature it smelled and how bracingly young it tasted. But the whole was pure joy.
