Community Tasting Notes 6

  October 1, 2021 - #08-93, 7.5% abv. Not quite as good as I remember this wine being. The nose is classic old riesling -- not just old riesling, but old Wehlener Sonnenuhr -- as this had decidedly developed that slight blue cheese/creamy aroma. Still quite fresh, the nose shows some herbal elements and implies a modest amount of sugar, which is exactly what is delivered on the palate. Overall though, this is relatively thinner and has less body than better vintages. Not particularly acid driven, this just seems like it floats on air...

  July 1, 2019 - at first I was a little disappointed with this and preferred the Haag Auslese (others disagreed). But it really develops well- slate and petrol, apple and lime zest. Nice tension, excellent length. A-

  June 10, 2018 - Old German Riesling et al. (Chicago, IL): #08-93, 7.5% abv. The last bottle of this was corked, but this one was superb and a return to form. This is easily fleshier and rounder than the brilliant 1973, and there's a little more meat and fat on those bones. The mineral structure here doesn't seem as clearly delineated to me, and there's just a mild bit of diffuseness here that the 1973 didn't have. I'm really nitpicking though -- this truly is pretty close to perfect Kabinett. The freshness here also belies the 26 years that this wine has under its belt.

  March 10, 2018 - Indianapolis IV; 3/9/2018-3/11/2018 (Indianapolis, IN): #08-93, 7.5% abv. Very mildly corked. I didn't pick up wet cardboard, but the palate is stripped.
