2/10/2012 - ChateauTooting wrote: NRNose evolved quite a lot over the night, initially a bit cheesy and apricot/peach smelling with clear classic definition of minerality, to open out into lemons and a hint of spice. It started to fall over itself after being open for a few hours, with hardly any and the finish isn't that lengthy, and the residual sugar clearly still there in fact becoming more apparent as it stays open. So on that basis I'd say drink up soon. |

2/6/2012 - ChateauTooting wrote: NRNot sure what this wine is trying to achieve - it's tannic yet not over extracted, oaky but not overblown, acidic but not too much - the fruit is dry and it's very bordeaux in style. Can guess I didn't really enjoy it - This isn't Rioja. |

1/22/2012 - ChateauTooting wrote: NRVery delicious wine, acidic and saline, yet gorgeous enchanting nose that keeps inviting you in. Certainly very much alive and a long life ahead as it opened up very slowly. Much better than the previous bottle that was somewhat overshadowed by the 1991. |

1/9/2012 - ChateauTooting wrote: NRGood but a bit flabby. Low acidity and high alcohol with not a lot of complexity. Enjoyable but fell off a bit toward the end of the bottle (3 hours later). Good time to drink, wouldn't age these much longer without the acidity keeping the wine fresh. Drink now. |

8/15/2011 - ChateauTooting wrote: NRI had this at WIMPS Iberia earlier this year when it was paired up against a 1991 IIRC. Then this wine showed quite well, taking some time to unfurl in the glass. Tonight, well yesterday, I re-visited this wine at home and I've found this bottle to be quite closed. It had nothing on the nose to start with but slowly it's evolved unwillingly to reveal a classc subtle oxidative nose, creamy and somewhat nutty (Macadamia) and some orange peel. I wouldn't say this bottle is honeyed (nor do I recall the last bottle to be). |

8/10/2011 - ChateauTooting wrote: NRGood acidity and clear enojyable minerality on this Auslese from Michael Schafer. It's a good wine although not pretty complex, it has a lasting finish and the sweetness is well balanced. Outstanding value for the money (£8). |

6/23/2011 - ChateauTooting wrote: NRGorgeous wine. Still very young, but beautifully pure and fresh. Savoury nose filled with earth, blood, iron and stone. The acidity although somewhat tart and unresolved, I find to be quite enjoyable. The wine is slowly coming alive, enjoyable more so a year ago, though I would now start to cast my eyes away from these and think about something else. This well made wine deserves a little time to blossom. |
