October 4, 2008 - I "was" an avowed disliker of German wines - too sweet.
This being the case I somehow managed to transport two bottles of Auslese twice around the world in container ships as I worked in six different countries, I wasn't planning to consume them personally, except maybe poured on strawberries.
I finally arrived in the UAE and made friends with a German, who of course loves Riesling et. al..
An opportunity I thought - give him the wine.
Last night we opened it, without any but the lowest of expectations from me.
The cork had moved about a third of the way out of the bottle although the foil was intact, as the cork proved to be (a miracle really as it wasn't that long).
The colour was a magnificent deep gold (at this stage I still expected it to taste of urine though, I've been fooled by that colour before).
Then the aroma, cherries picked up by all four of us and other flavours too nuanced to identify clearly.
And then the taste - not sweet, but somehow it was?
A mixture of sweet and dry, beautifully blended.
And a lingering succulent finish which carried on for a minute.
My friend was happy, I was amazed!
Obviously I have some work to do on Germany.
The other Auslese I have - from 1983 this time!3 people found this helpful Comment
