Community Tasting Note

JRockEsq Likes this wine:

Sunday, May 24, 2020 - AP 5

Method: opened 30+ minutes in advance; served chilled in Grassl Mineralité

Look: pale straw; med- viscosity on the glass

Nose: honey, ripe peach; simple

Palate: guava, green apple, slight salinity, candied ginger; medium+ finish of fresh ginger; med- body; medium sweet; high- acidity

On the third night, there is a bit of petrol, more minerality, and some strong ginger, especially on the finish. The finish starts out strong and great with ginger, but the flavor fades a bit quicker than I'd expect, although the acid leaves a mark on my tongue long after the wine is gone.

Overall thoughts: Not too complex at first, but I think it developed nicely after the first day. Really delicious and has great balance. I love the very strong ginger note I get initially on the finish. Currently, much more expressive than the 2018 BJS Spatlese (and BJ Kabinett).
