Cork intact. Damn this is something else. Color light gold. Nose dense and swishing this shows amazing density of fruit with substantial RS and acid in support. I don’t imagine that this will ever shed its RS completely but this is so tasty who cares. Definitely an auslese in spatlese clothing. Dang

couldn't help it. another one bites the dust. I promise to wait till 2020 at least for the next bottle. starting to show some maturity, but still intense. if you are thinking too sweet swish it around and uncover the acid. finish on this last over a minute. still has the pow that I admire.

I am always taken a bit aback by how dense and powerful this is. amazing fruit density, and great structure to support. this is an infant and still very primary. will wait for 5-10 to try again.

Popped and poured. Color straw. Nose shows mostly peach and pineapple butter cake but it has a lot more secondary character than I expected. On the palate this remains rich and balanced by an acid backbone that propels the lengthy finish.
