A burnished gold color.  A glossy, ample, ripe nose: well-oiled orchard fruit, mock orange, dill, kerosene and flint.  A fun mix of secondaries and tertiaries on this ’90.  Served blind we would have guessed Alsatian.  Bold, succulent and dense on the palate, even a touch waxy and unctuous: apricot caramel, tangerine cream, orange honey blossom and toasted pistachio.  Hefty for Spätlese but a firm buttress of acidity keeps it in check.  Good.  Drink soon.
