Sunday, September 22, 2019 - Lunch at Sun Wah (Chicago, IL): #21-91, 11% abv. Who ever heard of an 11% auslese? That HGS guy really knows what he's doing though. The nose for me is a little better than palate; showing a slight hint of petrol, but also a lovely mix of dried fruits ranging from apricots to figs. Not quite as complex on the palate, with a slight black tea tone here, coupled with some apricots. Correct acidity to balance the opulent sweetness. A slight bit of funk on the palate as well, but that's probably just an age thing.
