  AP09
  
  Dense, dense, dense. Hint of diesel and herbs on the nose, peaking through the stone fruit. On the palate, it's definitely auslese level of sweet, whipped cream, very ripe stone fruit, white flowers. Plenty of acid to stand up to the sweet. Really super auslese.

  细微复杂的气味，油桃、黄桃、柑橘（似乎是西柚、柠檬和柚子）等果味在恰到好处的矿物感的勾勒下呈现一个明亮的空间，框架感不错，清澈纯净。淡淡的汽油味和奶油味使得香气更加油润有厚度。入口非常清澈，淡淡的气泡感在舌尖跳动，带来点点刺激感。甜度但和优雅的酸度细腻交融，结构平衡融洽。清新的凤梨、油桃、梨子和柑橘滋味细腻交杂呈现，仿佛盛夏的果篮，还沾着一点水珠，带着阳光的色调。融合在淡淡的蜂蜜、杏脯和热带果酱之中，带出一点蜜饯的甜蜜，淡淡的咸鲜矿物将口感进一步撑开，带来足够的圆润、滑度和厚度。92/100

  AP 07 18 (Spatlese) and AP 09 18 (GK Auslese). I love getting a chance to do side-by-side tastings of new wine and occasionally it makes sense to review them in the same note because they are such obvious siblings and the notes make more sense in that context.
  
  The similarities: Holy hell the 2017 vintage is beautiful! For the few producers I've tried so far, it seems to be a fantastic combination of somewhat botrytis-infected ripeness (more so than 2015), acidity (less so than 2015), and sheer concentration (more like 2006). Oliver Haag absolutely nailed this vintage and I found them to be even more drinkable right out of the gate than 2015. Maybe it's the slightly lower acidity this year, but his wines exhibit a creamy suppleness that makes them immediately approachable.
  
  The differences: The Goldkapsule Auslese tastes and behaves exactly like you'd imagine the Spatlese to be if you distilled it by 25%. The acidity remains the same and the fruit - instead of becoming overpowering - seems to become more focused and compact. The Spatlese is an extroverted playmate who gets along nicely with food, whereas the Auslese is a bit of an introvert that it's better getting to know one-on-one. Both, however, are fabulous!
  
  Spatlese - 94+
  GK Auslese - 97

  [09 18] Tasted after the non-GK Auslese. Rich and packed, wonderful concentration of fruit, notes of honey, spices, flowers. Not quite as vibrant and weightless as the non Goldcap version, but of course still wonderfully balanced with a nice mineral backbone and very impressive length. 94-95+

  Mosel Trip 2018; 5/10/2018-5/11/2018 (Mosel Region): AP09‎.
  Doesn't have the spicy heat of the Juffer GK. More balanced. Deceptively simple (in a good way). Buy.
