Informal dinner, no detailed notes. I’ve had this wine a dozen times before. 5-6 years ago it was drinking so well and easily on a 95/96 points level. My last bottle 18 months ago, however, showed pretty flabby with not enough acidity and I thought that this wine might be past its peak. Luckily, this bottle was magnificent. Full of freshness and tension, super focused and with the signature complex aromatics. Wonderful.

tropical fruits, droed apricot, a lot of forrest honey, figs, creme brulee, but the finish is middle long, at this point not perfectly balanced, lack of acidity, I expected a little bit more density and freshness, nice to drink it again in 5-7 years, 92+

Wine & Dine with Hans Schwarz (Landhaus Liebefeld, Bern, Switzerland): I really like the exotic fruits in a Scheurebe and this TBA was really joyfull. Beautiful complex nose (a big exotic fruit basket). Smooth and not too sweet, very good integrated botrytis, loooong finish. Very good!!!
