Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, February 4, 2014 - Color: Straw yellow.

Nose: Extremely fresh and bright. The expected varietal character of stone fruit and citrus as well as honey and faint mineral savoriness, but it's hard to pinpoint any one thing. Just the smallest hint of petrol. The overall impression is energetic.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and rounded.

Palate: At first, the honeyed-apple sweetness dominates. Then the lemony citric tartness comes through to lighten it up, leading to a sweet-tart finish with a dash of mineral and decent length.

A bit disappointing, to be honest. It's clean and delicious, so no problem there, but it feels pretty simple and earthbound for a Spatlese from this estate. Could use more acid as the balance definitely leans toward the sweet.
