Wednesday, December 29, 2021 - Day 2. (From Zalto Universal) From a mostly warmed-up glass. Fruity and juicy nose of peach, red and yellow apples, spice, rock candy, honey, white florals, slate and rocks. Last night the mouthfeel on this was somewhat offputting - it seemed big and burly and I felt that maybe the 10% alcohol was showing (a bit bigger than many Auslese.) But a day has done it good and I hope that by tomorrow it might be harmonious. Peach and apple, honey - still a bit big and rich but there is some good acid to provide structure, not quite lift, here. The finish still suffers a bit from the blockishness, showing peach, apple. Good length but short on elegance for now. Will check again tomorrow. Nose - 5-5.5/6, Palate - 5+?/6, Finish - 4.5+?/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1+?/2 = 15.5-16+?/20.
