  • Very good, in the zone. Elegantly rich tropical fruits, fresh, lifting acidity, a long finish. We took our time with this, sometimes silence can be quite comfortable. A joy. highly recommended

  • Palate shift, ALANR. I look back at your 2013 note and think it's very representative today. I did not perceive as much RS as you did, and in fact looked it up before I bought the wine (solidly in off-dry territory at 17-21g/L). Yes, it's gained some fabulous flesh but the acidity is still very well balanced and age notes are starting to intermingle with stone fruit and minerality to yield a lovely bottle of wine. Thoroughly enjoyed this with some fresh, soft, and goaty fromages.

  • OK, I admit it, I have grown tired of almost all sweet wines, outside of top Sauternes and TBA. Particularly with age, they lose "zip" and gain flesh and flab. Did I just describe most people? Don't get me wrong, they can be enjoyable, sometimes very enjoyable wines. But these days give me a dry wine pretty much any time over a sweet wine.

    This Weinbach straddles the line for me. There's some good intensity and depth, pretty decent acidity, a bit of interesting complexity. But it's a wine I don't really have to think about - I just drink it and enjoy. At this level, I want something more cerebral, more interesting, something that grabs me, makes me look at the glass and draws my attention from whatever else is going on around me. At this price point, I need more, and I'm not getting it.

    It's sweet, it's tasty, it's reasonably balanced. There's your note.

    Edit: looking back on earlier notes, I see I liked this a lot more 5 years ago. How much of that is palate shift, and how much just that most sweet wines don't really get better with age, in fact tend to get more flabby and less interesting as acidity fades? I don't know.

  • Light golden color, touch of petrol and yellow flowers on the nose; this is a panoply of layered flavors, starting a bit slowly with what appears as initial simple sweetness, but quickly transitions through waves of richer, meatier depth, adding layers of stony minerality, nice acidity, with a long fading finish. Has some weight and density, easy to drink this quickly.

  • Light golden yellow. In the nose, hints of botrytis, forest honey, Papaya and Mango, both fresh and dried. On the palate, it's extremely juicy with fine minerality, very fine acidity, hardly noticeable fruity sweetness and a wonderfully adstringend finish with hints of lemon marmelade. Potential for real greatness. Wait.
