Tasted Monday, July 13, 2015 by Zweder with 327 views
All wines were tasted fully blind.
In the bouquet very ripe fruits, rust, iodine, tobacco and some faint leftover of cherries. On the palate cherries, sweet spices, herbs, some chocolate and a firm amount of acidity. Completely melted tannin. This is a basic wine of the domain and at this age quite impressive. Still alive and a pleasure. Completely ready now.

In the bouquet still some cherries, herbs and spices, some vanilla and a touch of barnyard. On the palate red fruits, sweet spices, garrigue, dark fruits, cherries, a firm amount of acidity and soft tannin. So far so good, but overall the wine is less impressive and harmonious than some time ago. Even falling apart a bit. If you have any left; don’t wait too long. No score.

Very light purple red. In the bouquet raspberries, red cherries, a bit lactic and also some barnyard impressions. On the palate first red fruits, then cherries and dark fruits, some spiciness, firm acidity and soft tannin. Quite basic wine which reminds a bit like Beaujolais.

Mature bouquet with raisins, iodine, spiciness and rustic flavors. On the palate also quite mature with a lot of sweet spiciness, rust and chocolate, still some leftovers of dark forest fruits, medium plus acidity, some bitterness and drying tannin in the finish. A very mature wine, a bit past its prime, but still enjoyable. No score.

In the bouquet cherries and cassis, some herbs and spices, some red bell pepper and a bit creamy as well. On the palate creamy red berries, some spiciness and white pepper. Also some chocolate, ok acidity and round tannin. Ok, but not very impressive wine in this stage. Might need a few more years of ageing. 86 for tonight.

Beautiful and deep bouquet with sweet spices, vanilla of exclusive oak and still some cassis. On the palate soft and ripe dark and red berries, vanilla from beautiful oak, some herbs and spices and a bit rustic. Overall a beautiful wine which is completely ready now. No problem cellaring this for another 2 years if you have a perfect cellar. I was a bit surprised how mature this wine already was.

Beautiful bouquet with sweet and ripe berry fruits, some chocolate, beautiful oak and some mint. The same impressions on the palate, a lot of sweetness, but also good acidity. Full bodied and completely ready now.

Very mature bouquet with currants and minerals. On the palate ripe berry fruits and plums. Also leather, chocolate and some mint. Firm acidity and the tannin is a bit drying. The wine is completely ready now.

Enormously bubbly. Apples and a bit rustic in the bouquet. On the palate apples and some pear and special acidity. The bottle was probably quite old and I didn’t particularly like it. No score.

The bouquet is not so very expressive but shows white fruits like apple and litchi, some apricots and minerals. On the palate some petrol, minerals, white fruits, not so much acidity and some sweetness. For a Grosses Gewächs the wine is not as dry as you expect it to be. Overall definitely a good wine.

In the bouquet a lot of apricots, honey and botrytis. On the palate orange, caramel, coffee, nougat, a lot of concentrated sweetness, but also beautiful fresh acidity. Beautiful and harmonious wine. Ready now and the next few years.

Mature bouquet with polishing wax, oranges and butter candy. On the palate also very mature but there are still some apricots and orange peel. No score.

A beautiful tasting note by Huse. I have nothing to add, except that we tasted it from magnum and I think the wine will easily last until well into the 2020’s. 91+ for tonight.

A very aromatic muscatel bouquet. Same on the palate. Dry and simple with a firm amount of bitterness in the finish. Clean, but not a great pleasure.
