Community Tasting Note

• Trickyone Likes this wine:

  May 27, 2013 - Long ago, my very first bottle of exceptional wine was a bottle of Dr. Fischer's '71 or '76 Auslese from this vineyard. I've tried to keep some bottles on-hand not just for sentiment, but because the wines from good years have been worth the effort. The '03 is no exception: This bottle had all the right notes on the nose except botrytis--must not have had a lot that year even though the grapes were obviously very ripe. Good acidic backbone and high level of sweetness. Consumed with my wife (and mother-in-law) to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary. We'd had a bottle of the '90 Dr. Fischer on our first date years ago and drank my last bottle of that on our 10th anniversary. The '90 had much more botrytis taste and was a better wine, but I can't find any more of that for obvious reasons!
