Q2 - 2019 Tasting - Alsatian White Varieties from around the World (New York, NY): 4/17 wines tasted double blind. Ahh - that pretty honeysuckle blossom nose again. Unfortunately I would rather smell this than drink it - as this was also quite sweet on the palate and lacking acidity to balance the sugar. Middle of the pack for me and 3 pennies voted by the group.

Q2 2019 Tasting - Alsatian White Varietals (The Apt): Wine #4: This was an interesting wine. I felt like there was maybe a bit more heft than some of the previous wines in the tasting, but there was also this very good strong acidity which kept it feeling overall fairly light and easy. Again the white flowers and honey. (3 pennies)

Dark gold in color, very faint aromas of lemons and flowers, viscous and fat on the palate with jasmine, candied orange and a little too much sugar for the acidity still there, but this is a big, expressive beauty and a lot of pleasure to drink. A perfect candidate for pairing with Sichuan food.

Farbe: Wie Cognac, ein mittleres braun. Geschmack: Sehr süß mit einer kräftigen Note, erinnert an Tannenhonig (was auch zur Farbe passt), ein wenig Säure zeigt sich gelegentlich, was aber nicht stört, sondern den Geschmack eher frisch hält. Der Alkohol (13,5%Vol.) kommt ein wenig durch, aber nicht unangenehm. Insgesamt trotz der dunklen Farbe, die auf Alterung schließen läßt, ist der Wein sehr lecker, mir fehlt nur noch ein wenig die Rafinesse. Punkte: 87+.
