🏰 The 1999 vintage for German Riesling was generally good, producing wines with ripeness and good acidity, suitable for sweet wine production. Reichsrat von Buhl's Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Auslese 1999 is a noble sweet wine from a renowned vineyard. At over two decades old, this wine will have developed complex tertiary aromas alongside its primary fruit. Expect notes of dried apricot, honey, marmalade, and perhaps a hint of petrol or botrytis spice, with a luscious sweetness balanced by a still-vibrant acidity. 【 Noble sweet wine from a renowned vineyard 】. 🍴 This exquisite Auslese is a perfect accompaniment to fruit tarts, crème brûlée, or blue cheeses like Roquefort. For an Eastern pairing, consider a delicate almond tofu dessert or a light, sweet dim sum. 🥂 Ideal for a very special occasion, such as a significant anniversary, a milestone birthday, or as a contemplative dessert wine. This is a wine to be savored slowly, perhaps at the end of a grand meal. **Serving Advice for Older Wines:** For a wine of this age, handle with care. The cork may be fragile, so a Durand opener or an Ah-So opener is recommended. Stand the bottle upright for several days before serving to allow any sediment to settle. Decanting is generally not necessary for sweet wines unless there's significant sediment, but a slow, careful pour is advised. Serve slightly chilled, around 10-12°C (50-54°F), to allow its complex aromas to unfold without being dulled by excessive cold.
