Pear, hop, loads of alcohol, extremely extraordinary, this is a wine, that you don't want to drink another glass, none of us did! While you feel that it has power it is just somehow off

Brown sugar, no petrol, vanilla, peach, cookie dough and a hint of oysters, MAGNIFICENT!!

Tasted immediately after opening and the wine performed beautifully with brown sugar, herbs, autumn leaves, leather and just amazing tobacco, still nice tanin reserve and a very long finish. Scored 95 at that time

We initially hesitated to decant this as we thought that it might fall apart but no, it even gained weight and intensity.

This is why I love bordeaux! I'm a dreamer, so I hope that some of the 2009s will perform like this one day.

This wine sucked, big time, smelled metallic and like red beet juice. Aggressive, clearly flawed. This note was more or less constant even after decanting for 4 hours. What a shame

Tea leaves, still a lot of black berries and fruit left. dense, suuper dense with massive reserves left. This needs air. At this point it scored 94 and was just behind the Haut.

After 4 hours decanting this baby opened up and WOW!! THis had a creamy texture, nose of chocolate, banana and coconut. What a wine!!!

This seemed odd, despite having been stored perfectly. Very sweet nose, caramel and licorice, raisins, dried figs and tons of vanilla. The girls all liked this best, but I din't fancy it to be honest, as I thought this was just too weird.

This was decanted for 5 hours and it was not enough. Still quite closed down, I felt it needed at least a day of decanting. Almond paste, apricot and nice elegance but it was like an iron fist in a velvet glove reluctant to unveil it's full potential.

This wine was harvested in January 2012 at -13 degress celcius (That's 8 degrees Fahrenheit) so in that sense it's actually an icewine, but Erbes did not want to go through the pain of classifying it as such and as a result, he designated it a Beerenauslese with two snow stars.

Dried apricot, peach, plums, really really nice acidity that balances out that infamous sweetness. Awesome!
