Community Tasting Notes 8

April 24, 2022 - #03-02, 8% abv. Quite dark in colour, which seems to be consistent with a few of the other notes here. A mature nose, with some petrol notes and cooked yellow fruit. On the palate, this lacks a lot of the cut and precision I would expect in 2001, but that might be a Mosel thing more than a Saar thing. Certainly nothing wrong here, but this does taste more mature than other 2001 (again, Mosels) that I've had recently. Disappointing.

September 4, 2018 - Dark golden color. Alluring aromas of apple and petrol. Very good acidity to balance with the fruit. Very smooth on the palate. Very enjoyable.

September 30, 2017 - First out of two bottles. Traces of leakage revealed after cutting the foil. High fill tough. Cork was soaked and managed just to get it out in one piece. This wine was dead - totally flat palate. Undrinkable. Source: Munich Wine Company.

November 29, 2016 - browning colour, surprisingly. Bone dry, quite mature, notes of petrol, fine acidity. Ends sweet, but with citrus ... drink up.
