Petrol on the nose, broader fruit, rounder, creamier and richer texture, touch ripe (yellow fruit), but still energetic; however a couple of days later, hints of mint, spices and herbs on the palate – this is definitely still young and still needs to unwind more with time, but it is incredible how the wine just snaps into focus a couple days after opening and becomes this delicate, elegant, creamy thing of beauty. I’m so glad I have a couple more bottles to try in the next couple of years.

Berserker Offline (Mezze and More): Darn tasty. Auslese heft but drier than a feinherb. Lacy texture, but with an abundance of yellow fruit (mango and peach) and rich texture - a super elegant combination and very more-ish. Wish I spent more time with this wine.

No note here, since it would be unfair. For me an interesting excurse into the world of dry Auslese, but I am not an expert and can’t rate this.
At any rate a well above 90 rating if I had to give one. Lots of salt, somewhat austere minerality, petrol. Certainly a time-evolving project here. Both for the wine and for me.

Day three in the fridge and the acidity is toned down, while the wiff of petroleum remained. I can imagine this being excellent with Asian or Indian food.
So now I can rate it. 92+

Tasting in Germany during a brief COVID interlude - November/December 2021; 11/19/2021-12/2/2021 (Germany - Schwanau/Monschau): 95(+?)pts. 12,5% vol. This Auslese Trocken from K-R rocks in great vintages, and this is no exception. Absolutely delicious, with notes of caramel, honey, lemon peel, and a touch of grapefruit in great harmony and balance. Smooth and creamy on the palate, this is a joy to taste. Mosel Fine Wines rated it 96+, and although right now I can't be so generous, it might reach such heights with more years (5+ at least) in the bottle. Wonderful QPR here. Drink or hold.
