February 28, 2023 - Gave this bottle time and air, but it never revealed a great side, seemed thin and tired, plenty of faint fruit, very smooth and creamybut to much was missing, did not last the course, I have another and can only hope for better things, cork was poor and crumbly, maybe that had an effect, though the level was still good?

December 24, 2020 - Rather tart, dry herbs, lots of firn and high acidity.
Either tired or bad bottle? -

December 29, 2019 - An ethereally light waft of a weightless delivery of such refined Wehlener fruit and flowers. But I would wait 3-5 years.Light yellowish golden color, not yet deepened. Viscosity has made it 2/3 of the way down to the weight that makes old Mosel auslesen stellar wines. On the palate,white flowers, honey, mild minerality and some petrol on the nose. Yet this tasted young, showing its balance and expanding flavor profile but clearly begging for more time to darken the hue, pull out more expressive tropical and floral notes, and to lose some of the viscosity and sweetness. Will be even better later.

February 28, 2015 - Choucroute Garnie at Sarah and Jonathan's (Theater District, Manhattan, NYC): AP #31. Nose of smoke, golden, honey, apple, rich - maybe getting a bit tired. Sweet, stunning on the palate - mature and creamy, botrytis but melded with great structure. Sugar, spicy, peach - humming, cream soda. Nose - 4.5/6, Palate - 6/6, Finish - 5-5.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17-17.5/20.

December 26, 2010 - This is nectar of the gods, or at least those who weren't naughty this year. So delicate and precise, with an amazing length. Tropical fruits, pineapple, mango, hint of coconut, all bound in an acidic layer, so well balanced layered in minerality and just delicious. Rather annoyingly the family polished this off far too quickly.
Next bottle I'm going to drink on my own.1 person found this helpful Comment
