Ended up opening the 1998 Müller-Catoir Haardter Mandelring Scheurebe Spätlese tonight with chicken tikka and parathas.
Holy shit this is incredible. That exuberant mango and other luscious tropical fruit is still here in spades, along with all that Scheurebe herbal/floral awesome, the richness and intensity of a modern Auslese and a shitload of acidity to match. One of the absolute best wines I've had in a long time in terms of pure, visceral pleasure.
