Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Crisscross (Private Location): Oh man I could drink this every goddam day. It’s just that good and fires directly in my wine drinker heart. The nose is so typical with aromas of tangerine, pine needles, tons of green herbs, dill, apricot and this unbelievable freshness. On the palate the lively acidity kicks in but I felt the wine is more on a light Auslese level in structure. It has some more meat on the bone than other Spätlesen we had (for example the 1994, a very cool vintage). I just missed the last total elegance in the finish which these wines could deliver. Nevertheless another perfect example why Spätlesen from Grünhaus from the 90s are worth every search.

Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group (@Private location): Glass: Riedel Vinum Riesling Tasted blind. Clear, medium-deep golden color. Clean, medium+ developing nose that immediately reveals its origin: Herbs (dill), tangerine, mineral notes, ripe yellow fruit. Typical Grünhaus, complex, deep and multi-layered. Medium dry. Medium+/high acidity, perfectly integrated. 9,0% abv. Medium+ intense, lovely flavors of black tee, herbs, tangerine, Apricot, salty mineral notes. All echoing on the palate for long time. Almost Auslese style quality! Lots of extract, creamy, cool, vibrant and elegant. On its peak now, will stay there for at least a decade. Really wonderful! 93+

Dried apricot and peaches on the nose w good spice. Great perfume and baking spices. Very dry on the palate. Apple and apple skin. Great cinnamon spice. Nice focus and acid. Really bright Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20
