  Off dry with rich texture of tropical and a citrus fruits. Great spicy food wine but a little rich on it's own.

  A.P. Nr. 2 576 511 12 07. From full bottle, pop and pour. Highly expressive aromas with a little touch of Sulphur only and it blew off after awhile which, was a surprised! Sweet and charming on the nose, with an array of sweet mangoes, bananas, peaches and red apple laced on the bed formed by the caramel ice cream, chalky mineral and wet stone. No doubt this is still in its youth, but drinking very well now which is another surprised for a JJP Auslese. Charming and delicious with the velvety, creamy, rich, rounded palate formed by flavors of sweet peaches, red apple and honey lemon, a little baby fat though. Good weight and and depth. The ripe acid is not really integrated as the acid only kick in at the end to provide freshness and neutralize the sweetness and long finish linger with mandarin orange peel sweetness and bitterness, mineral too. Very enjoyable and two of us finished the bottle, that's explained. Buy - Yes.

  Giron 2nd Tasting (NK's Home): Lovely sweet pineaplles with just a dash of petrol. On the palate, pokka green tea with a good measure and balance of restrained pineapple-longan sweet fruit cocktail. Very quaffable now.
