  January 26, 2021 - An almost unbelievable 19 old wine long stored in my cellar, where the top 5 inches had leaked out of the bottle, the opened wine had no cork, and the top foil was the only sealer. The color was a translucent reddish brown, which usually means the wine is irretrievably spoiled by oxidation. Nonetheless, the nose had a clear smell of apple cider, lemon, lime, and pear. In the mouth, the acidity was bright, vivid, and cleansing. The swallow added a honey sweetness that nicely balanced the acidity. Overall, an amazingly enjoyable auslese that kept fine in the refrigerator for days resealed with a cork from another bottle of wine.

The sweetness has resolved and this wine would go well with a variety of foods or by itself. Should easily last another ten years.

  December 23, 2013 - Bright straw color, clear nose of green apples, honey, kaffir lime and wildflowers. Medium body with a hint of viscosity. Absolutely stunning balance of sweetness and acidity, exactly what you want from an Auslese. Not sure where else this wine can go, it was remarkable tonight.
