  A mix of superb and corked wines: Mint, honey, apple and caramel. Mildly sweet on the palate but there isn't a whole lot more character to it. Good to drink despite the lack of complexity.

  Dark in color for a 76 Auslese. Rich round nose of orange blossoms, butterscotch, cararmel and baked apricot and apple. Big on the palate, very sweet for Auslese and very botrysized. Somehow very lacking in acid (which makes me think that since it is labeled without the grape listed that there is more in there than just riesling (which was definitely present but the lack of acid and presence the flesh and stone fruit made me think there had to be other varietals, Pinot Gris perhaps?). Interesting, but very one-dimesional and lacking brightness.
