January 31, 2020 - Winespecials Wine Evening (Restaurant Waldhorn, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Gabriel Standard
Popped and poured. Perfect cork and fill level. Maybe we should have decanted the wine? Clear, pale amber color. Nose not really clean, some cellar mold, botrytis, volatile acidity.
On the palate a bit better, bitter notes from botrytis, acidity a bit unbalanced, spicy. Lacks depth and tension. Drinkable, but without fun. Past peak. 82-84
