Nose: gout-de-petrol hits you right away together with exotic fruits (mango/pineapple) and some caramel. In the back vanilla and distinct botrytis (much milder compared to 2011) that add the richness to this wine.
Taste: perfect balance between richness and sugar levels. Additionally, it is the high acidity that provides this balance as well as a green apple type freshness. Clearly, the 2010 offers more acidity to counter the sweetness compared to a 2011.
Overall: fantastic wine and quintessential aging Mosel auslese. Slowly moving into its tertiary phase but clearly has a long life ahead. 10+ years ahead easily!

AP16-11 from a 0,375l. Fantastic acidity, loads of peppery spice, deeply fruited core, pineapple-mago-passionfruit sherbet, orangepeel shavings. Dense and concentrated, almost BA in style. Very impressive. Just a perfect accompaniment for a big chunk of foie.

Solid dessert wine, syrupy but not cloying

Delicate, if not a bit introvert nose. Slightly unclean. Not memorable.
Palate delciious with a pretty wicked acidity that needs time to integrate with the sweetness.
