1993: mild petro, noe banan, men også friske noter av pasjonsfrukt og mandarin. Frisk først i munnen, før en tyngre frukt setter inn, med en del banan, men flott balansert av appelsin og mandarin. Også et fint myntepreg. Deilig vin.

Salil does Chicago 2; 4/6/2016-4/10/2016 (Chicago, IL): AP illegible, 8% abv. This had a few similarities to the 1990 Fritz Haag BJS Auslese that I opened yesterday, with its lovely roundness coupled with racy acidity. This showed a little bit creamy, and the minerality wasn't as pronounced as I would have preferred, this was just a seamless and eminently drinkable example of Auslese. This was comfortably in the Auslese range of sweetness, and there wasn't very much botrytis at all to it. Perhaps I ought to reevaluate my thoughts on this producer, who I've always regarded as rather pedestrian.

Don't think this bottle was pristine. Rather flat, advanced and slightly oxidative, there's still some fruit and mature smokiness beneath as well, but absolutely no acidity and it doesn't taste anything like what I'd expect from a 1990 Mosel.

8% alcohol. a perfect bottle (750 ml)...thanks, jock! this is the elusive *** edition of this wine. so rich and complex, it's easy to mistake it for a VT. the color was just barely turning gold. there is a long life ahead for other lucky owners. a memorable treat.
