Acker BYO 2012 (Tribeca Grill, Tribeca, NY): AP #16. Auction. From Magnum (Yes, I was drinking with Justin C tonight). A step down from the Prum. Sweet, some smoke, brown sugar and baking spices, apple. Creamier than the Prum, but less active. Palate of spice, lemon, apple and pear - soft. Spice on the finish. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 16/20.

I love old German wines and am lucky enough to have a colleague who loves them as well. This 1985 is still awesomely balanced, with that addictive petrol nose, but then a shocking jolt of bright acidity and sugar on the palate. Like super concentrated citrus juice without the syrupy sweetness. I could smell this wine for hours.
