1983 Dr. Fischer Reisling Auslese

[winoweenie]

Found this nestled in hiding in back of the cellar and remembered this was part of a muti-case purchase of 83 Eisweins I'd made before moving here permantly from Colorado. Not really expecting anything I wasn't dissapointed. Sadly, ALL that remained was a few faint citrus notes, acidity, and a complete void in the fruit area. The cork had to be taken out a crumble at a time and then I spent 10 minutes filtering it thru a coffee filter. Not a real bummer as I was with my lovely CB and some really great friends for a lovely Valentines lunch sitting on one of our favorite restaurants' patio and enjoying a gorgeous 78* day. The wine was probably 10+ years past its' peak but looked good in the glass. WW
