2001 Weingut Toni Jost Rheingau Wallufer Wallenberg Riesling Spatlese

[TheEngineer]

Felt like this bottle came out of a time capsule. It still have that perfectly clear pale straw green color. Nose was still very fresh but with definite petrol now (actually perhaps a bit more vinyl really). Same super mouthfeel, clean fresh, aromatic, honeyed but nicely balanced.

Purchased in the days when wine's could be had reasonably priced.... (sounding old huh??)

this bottle that is now close to the decade old point and showing no signs of keeling over was purchased for the extravagant price of $14.99.

For me, that was when JJ Prum could be had in the $20's and up to say $35. These have all pretty much doubled in the past few years, even with the reduced price of wines.

On a good note, the 04 brunello's look to be good deals on the floor.
