A little Las Vegas hospitality (Las Vegas, NV): From half-bottle. This is admittedly not my favourite Mosel vintage, but boy is this wine a smashing success. There is no sign of dirtiness in this wine whatsoever; I can only guess that they actually picked each individual berry out one by one to make sure that the rot on each was indeed noble. The fruit flavours are more temperate than tropical, but the apples, pears, quince, and such are all very precise. There has to be an insane amount of acidity to balance out the sweetness, but this wine is never cloying, just very, very intense. A very long and clean finish. Magnificent.

Private Dinner (Tre Bicchieri - São Paulo - Brazil): After a Selosse, 1998 Conterno Fantino and the Quintarelli Amarone, the mission of this wine was tricky. However, although young and seeking his balance, it was very good.
