HANS WIRSCHING, 1997
Siphöfer Julius-Echter-Berg SILVANER KABINETT TROCKEN.
Cork was intact and not soaked through.
This was bizar.Tasted like a very recent vintage. Colour very light. Some slight tropical notes but a lot of acidity and freshness. Drinks like a light simple summer wine.
I have had older Sylvaner that developed into the tropical lush fragrance you also see in older Riesling. Nothing of that sort here. In that sense a disappointment.
This wine was part of an auction lot with various Franken wines from the same year. Some of this batch of bocksbeutels were dead or very developed so it is not the storage.
Very interesting to see how different wines can age.

Fuck me, my birth year wine and it still tastes young. Is this the first sign of feeling like I’m getting old? Lol
Always wondered how you store these flask bottles in wine fridge…
