  WXTP Tasting III (TH's Place): A nice enough drink. While still not a great wine, this was much better than the Kabinett. There was quite a bit of sulphur on the nose, but beneath that, there were pleasant if rather tight notes of white fruits and flowers. The SO2 was rather distracting though. Like many of the 2011s, the palate was noticeably rich and fleshy, with apricot and other stone-fruited notes at the forefront, and then a rather more serious flinty minerality and a nice, lemony uplift on the midpalate. It finished with a lick of spice and sweet honey. Simple at this stage of its evolution, but there was a nice backbone and shape to this wine. While not the most compelling now, it should be enjoyable given a few years in the bottle.
