    (Von Hovel Oberemeller Hutte Auslese) This is another monopole and what a monopole it is. I always find wines from Hutte to be incredibly opulent with rich lemony flavors and always tons of ripe tropical fruit. In this example there is a wonderful saline minerality along with a rich yet delicate mouthfeel and incredibly clean botrytis. Long crunchy finish with piqaunt acidity. Seriously concentrated wine with an amazing structure. Lots of baby fat here so it is still a blast to drink before it closes up. Delicate and forceful at the same time. As I have continued to say in 2005 the regular Auslesen are the bargains of the vintage and is the first vintage where I am trying to cellar more Auslese than Spatlese.

    (Von Hovel Oberemeller Hutte Auslese) Lemony, herbal nose with good minerality and a hint of botrytis. The herbs smell very fresh with a dash of dried herbs thrown in for complexity. Excellent density and purity. Very long and detailed finish.
