Rockss and Fruit

  (Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Auslese) This bottle seemed a touch more mature than the last one I had six months ago. Another texture bomb. Layers upon layers of pure, sappy, ripe apricot and white fruits. Long complex finish with a hint of tangelo and caramel. Leather and spice start to develop after aropund twenty minutes adding to the complexity. Amazing freshness for a 30+ year old wine. Stunning as usual.

  (Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Auslese) Orange color with just explosive aromas of slight petrol, leather, fig, tangelo, minerals and brtown sugar. Nose kept changing and eventually a hardcore savory element (foie gras?) came through. The palate was friggin' sublime. Creamy, concentrated, pure, finessed with incredible dazzling fruit served up on a plate of the finest minerality. Just an amazing finish that has a lightness of touch but is so precise you are just in awe. Hints of the finest caramel you can imagine just linger on your palate forever. It had incredible freshness for a 30+ year old wine. And it kept getting better and better.
