Although pleasant to drink, this wine hasn't completely come together the way many 2011s have. It is ripe and young with incipient peach, a creamy texture, and a fair amount of sweetness, plus some herbal elements. Because it is still so young-tasting, there is the possibility of further positive development, but I doubt that crispness will ever appear. 9.0% stated alcohol. APN 14-12. Cellared since original release.

2011 will never become one of my preferred vintages. Even here very brought with lots of acacia honey which over performed the other, deeper layers of aromas a bit. You can only divine the typical Grünhaus herbs and tangerine. More like a sweet Spätlese on the palate with a bright mouthfeel. Lovely to drink right now. I'm curious to see how this will evolve over time.

My last bottle, and drinking well though certainly not fully mature and no hurry.

Pretty wine, but on the sweet side with not enough acidity and precision to focus it. Quaffable in a applejuicy kind of way but not great.
