  March 2, 2013 - 2013 spring auction in Kloster Eberbach/Eberbach Abbey (Kloster Eberbach, Rheingau): Nose with dried red berries including raspberries and cherries, mineral, flowery and perfumed, spice, some fortified wine nose, and elegance. Sweet on the palate (typical Beerenauslese level), noticeably spicy, dried red berries, medium tannins, some bitterness. Slightly fiery, some fortified wine feeling. Slightly odd, but shows good vigour. 89 p
  As far as I understand it was produced from grapes that got sun-dried (“raisined”) in the vineyard, as opposed to being affected by noble rot as is usually the case with white Beerenauslese. This makes it an unusual style of wine for Rheingau.
  Tasted from half bottle.

  March 2, 2013 - Hessische Staatsweingüter Wine Auction Pre-Sale Tasting (Kloster Eberbach): A bit of an oddity, rather port-like, slightly disjointed, nice enough but neither very honeyed nor very typical for Pinot Noir.
