  Beautiful. Dark coffee amber. Expressive, petrol, beautiful fruit and flowers. And a fresh acidity streak. Excellent.

  From an excellent looking bottle with a fill almost to the cork, this wine had a brown color with tan rims. The medium+ intensity nose offered up plum, vanilla bean, honey, and sweet pipe tobacco.
  
  In the mouth, this was rich and ripe but was supported by attractive fine-grained acidity. It had sneaky but very good length. This bottle was arguably 95 point quality.
  
  This wine certainly benefited from 5+ hours of air. After 7 hours of air It was going strong. While it will not improve with additional bottle age, it should last at this level for 5-10 years.

  Red brownish color, intense Botrytis aroma, dried fruits, still some honey and light fruits underneath. Very sharp acidity countering the sweetness. Not super appealing, because its a little plump and is lacking finesse. Still very interesting and fun to drink.

  Dark tawny tea colored, poured out like a light syrup. Caramel, quince and honey on the nose, medium full body with lots of fresh acidity meant the wine didn't actually taste that sweet. Indeed it wasn't quite sweet enough to go with the foie gras, but it was nonetheless super tasty to drink on its own!

  Medium tawny colour. Nose has aromas of caramel, honey and grape. To call it raisiny would be an injustice. In the mouth there is again the grapey flavour, almost raisiny but with such an acidity that it does not feel "raisiny" at all. Everything is perfectly integrated, it's not like sweetness is on the one side and acidity on the other. Has also some flavours of peach and honey. Finish is very satisfying and long. I bought six bottles of this wine knowingly that there was a leak through the cork. This is the best bottle yet (the rest went into fruit salads instead of rum), but not having any experience in aged Beerenauslesen I am not sure I judge it correctly...
