  deep golden colour, honey, peach, citrus, apricot, minerals, apple peel, slate with smoky elements and tropical fruits. On the palate the wine is light on its feet but with great concentration of flavors and the sugar well integrated. In fact it tastes nearly dry. Great poise with lingering acidity and a long finish makes it an outstanding wine with further time to develope, but have a look at the cork, which have to be replaced if you want to cellar it for more decades. In my opinion the Auslese wines of kerpen are often underestimated in its youth by professional tasters. They need at least a decade in a cool cellar to develope and sometimes they can compete with wines of the best and famous producers of german riesling.

  Pretty much in its ideal spot. Gorgeous aromatics that combine a spectrum of ripe fruit and tarter citrus with floral and honeyed aspects, a gentle minerality and developed smoky and creamy elements into one amazing scent. Tastes just as good as it smells with fantastic depth, a sense of restrained power and grace and fantastic length. Wow!
