    March 31, 2016 - Another simply great bottle from KaJo, the master from Ürzig.
    Few, if any, makes Auslese Riesling in MSR as good as this.
    Exciting and complex lovely nose with petroleum/diesel, lots of wet slate, dill, mint and honey diped tropical ripe fruits.
    Palate is mature and a mixture of ripe honeyed tropical fruits and minerals, with a great balance between sweetness & acidity.
    Keeps growing in the glass for as long as it lasts.
    Great length.
    Will keep, if you want, but lovely now.
    Simply great Riesling.

    March 31, 2016 - Ett fint mognat vin med persika, honung, dill, mint, mineral och påtagliga gummitoner. Fin frisk syra, underbar mogen frukt och långt koncentrerat slut

    March 31, 2016 - On the nose: Petrol, apricot, dill, little smoke, slate. After a while a mint tone occured.
    On the palate: Smoked rind, apricot and exotic fruits, blue cheese. Very high and fine balanced acidity and sweetness.
    Long finish

    I am always happy to drink this kind of hand crafted masterpieces. Bravo!

    April 1, 2007 - a shade too much petrol flavor for me. nevertheless, the wine had a wonderful mouthfeel and balance to it that indicated it will continue to evolve.
