  Anton’s Wine Tasting Notes
  Winery: Weingut Baron Knyphausen Erbacher Steinmorgan
  Riesling Auslese
  Varietal: Riesling. Area/Appellation: Germany, Rheingau, Erbach
  Vintage: 2003er. Price: $42/ 375ml. From my personal inventory of Anton’s Vintage Wine and Spirits. 2000-2011.
  Color: burnished amber, Legs: medium
  Nose: aged honey, caramel, toffee, peanut brittle, pecans
  Palate: toffee, brown sugar candies, butterscotch, Leche Quemada i.e. (Brown sugar fudge) Ppopgi Penuche Fudge.
  Finish: more butterscotch, brown sugar fudge and Ppopgi Penuche Fudge.
  Comments: Out of the four bottles I had, one was donated to a charity, as to the other two, one was corked and one was in very poor condition. This one seems to have made it all the way and is in prime shape. I can only guess that quality control in bottling was part of the problem because Germany had a Phenomenal year in 2003 especially for Auslese and B.A. and T.B.A.’S.
  Pairing Suggestions: plain cheesecake.
  Score in terms of Vintage: 91
  Score for the Wine: 91
  Value for the Money: Good 😊

  Dead stone Amber with the slightest hint of yellow and dead slow legs. A nose of apricot cobbler, dried vanilla rind, aged blood oranges and the slightest hint of dried mango. Palate replete with apricot custard, butterscotch and caramel with a succulent finish of blood orange an hint of dried berry and a wiff of caramel. Ready to drink now. No heat from the hot 2003 vintage.
