Community Tasting Notes 20

  August 10, 2023 - Deep flavors of lemon, honey, peach, apricot, grapefruit, and floral notes on the nose. Good acidity but also quite sweet on the palate with more honey, lemon, sugar, grapefruit, orange, and apricot notes. Long finish. This was very good, although a bit less sweetness would have been even better.

  June 18, 2020 - First thing...thank God this came in a 750 ml bottle. I opened it just before dinner, and almost blew through it before the meal. It's another luscious 2001 Auslese, that is just starting to enter a semi-mature phase. There's still plenty of ripe peach fruit, but also copious baking spices, honeycomb, waxy orange peel and toasted wheat bread around the edges. It's about as easy to fall into the glass while trying to capture all the aromatic nuances as it is to actually drink it. The palate is full sweet, but carries a finishing kick of acidity that leaves a clean, rather than cloying last impression. It's not a wine that comes up every year, so I treasure each time I get to drink this rare gem. One more of the 2001 left in the cellar, but no rush to drink it.

  March 2, 2018 - Enjoyed this vintage better than expected. Very good in 10 years as the sweetness integrates and the finish dries somewhat and lengthens.
