  Suzanne's Chinese Tea and Oranges: '06 Wirsching Julius-Echter-Berg Silvaner Auslese, Franken, AP 5011 032 07, 9.5 pabv; Rudi Weist. WineBid lot I5008201, $26 plus 14% bp.
  .
  
  Cork-finished; could use better quality of cork--short, coarse and crumbly. Limpid green orange.
  
  Under the white China tea and tangerine there is a most delicate veal broth supporter. The China tea is so faithful to the depth of good Silver Needle variety that it's shocking.
  
  Just adequate ripe and juicy acidity for this level of ripeness; a touch of orange peel infusion. Great integration and harmony, with delicate white-wine tannins, that's found in the best Silvaner Auslese; much like the tea. For those of you who know and love this style, it's a beautiful expression of something that's quite different from a Rhine or Mosel Riesling Auslese. The Silvaner holds smoky minerality in check in favor of a chord of almost tear-provoking loveliness, like a Leonard Cohen song sung by Judy Collins. Perhaps deserves better of me than I'm giving. Drink now or hold. Won't get funky or die any time soon.

  Great wine. Strong botrytis with lots of apricots, floral notes and great acidity. This is light and refreshing with a medium to long finish.
  If Lawgirlt can give a ridiculous score, why can't I?

  Like drinking honey - without the viscosity. Funky bottle.
  
  $22 at Astor: This comes from one of the lesser-known German wine producing regions, Franken. Home of the crazily-shaped, regional bottle known as the bocksbeutel. Rich with a dense floral, honeyed and earth driven profile.
