  Picked this up when visiting the vineyard a few years ago. PnP. ABV 7.5%. AP 6 06. Beautiful light copper in color. Explosive floral nose, a bunch of tropical fruits soaring from the glass on get-go, could smell this for hours. Very clean, no petrol. Still fairly sweet on the palate, yet to reach the ethereal non-sweet stage of the ‘95 vintage tasted a few years ago. But this was still drinking beautifully, an exceptional Auslese with many years to go.

  Der Wein strotzt nur so von feinem, pulvrigen Weinstein, der den Wein etwas trübt. Ja, ich hätte ihn etwas ruhen lassen sollen, aber ich wollte nicht mehr warten.
  In der Nase eine wunderbare Orgie von exotischer, reifer Frucht, Botrytisaromen, etwas feine Vanille, ein paar Kräutern und Blüten und etwas dezentem Nagellackentferner.
  Am Gaumen ist der Wein beinahe schmerzhaft schön und intensiv: die Süße wird von der reifen, beinahe extremen Säure perfekt ausbalanciert. Eine Melange von verschiedensten, frisch gepressten Fruchtsäften ergießt sich in den Mund: reife Ananas, Mango, Papaya. Die Textur ist wunderbar cremig, aber niemals ölig. Unglaubliche Spannung und eine wunderbare Balance. Obwohl die halbe Flasche vermutlich mehr Zucker als eine Kiste Cola enthält, ist der Wein niemals pappig oder klebrig. Der Abgang ist unglaublich lang und dominiert von klarer, reiner Frucht.
  
  Ich würde sagen, dass der Wein in ca. 5+ Jahren beginnt, seinen Höhepunkt zu erreichen und dann auf diesem für mehrere Dekaden verbleibt.

  This wine was shared with K an CW the weekend of the 17 th approx of September, in honor of Barbara T's life and death. Cloudy with fine tartrate-crystal; yellow golden brown. Has strong fruity-herbaceous apricot and light tobacco-wrapper (Cameroon). Also plenty of integrated diesel. Very powerful apple-acid and clean punchy sweetness. 95/100. Seems to be a good bottle for celebrating a wake. Actually needs about 5-10 more years to gain finesse, dry out a tad, and for acidity to integrate.
