Community Tasting Notes 3

  September 9, 2023 - 375ml bottle. Sparkly clear gold color. Wonderful creamy tropical nose. Almost the sweetness of a dessert wine. So rich, so deep, so unctuous. A treasure at 24 years old. Can't imagine this has ever drank better. Notes of candied pears, pineapple and mango. Soft finish with just enough acidity. First time I have had the 1999. It was better had the 2002 and almost as good as the magnificent 2001. Why don't I buy more Gunderlochs? 97 points.

  December 18, 2009 - Delicious, gulpable but complex riesling with a yeasty nose at opening, then showing apricots, peaches, pineapple, stones, and diesel, with an unctuous and sweet taste that is seamless, and shows the complexity of a good German riesling. My wife said " Ah, you opened something good tonight." The sweetness will probably drop out a bit in a few years, and it might gain even more complexity, but it is quite good at the moment. It doesn't reach the heights this vineyard and producer can deliver, but it is very good nonetheless. Long finish, nice acidity too.

  February 19, 2005 - February Portland,OR Tasting Group - 2002 Burgundy + more: This wine had a lot of yeast in the nose and it was so strong and it was hard for me to get over. The palate was really nice though and had good complexity. Hard to drink next to the Weinbach VT. #4 of 4 of the flight.
