  Tasted blind. Tons of pineapple here, very fresh and concentrated, with ample acidity and good length. Very good.

  Egon Müller luncheon with Egon Müller IV (Bistro du Vin, Shaw House): Wow. This was excellent. The pale, barely yellowish gold gave little hint of the depth and complexity of the wine. A little touch of sulphur, but that blew off quickly to show lovely, deep honeyed notes, hints of mushroom, apricots, some nuttiness and little drops of petrol. Equally wow on the palate. Great intensity was wed to very well integrated acidity, with the wine having delicious flavours of dried figs, fresh apricots, candied apples, candied ginger and honeyed notes that reminded me of treacle, molasses and fresh maple syrup. Not quite a BA, but certainly a top, top Auslese in its rich complexity. Finish was long and seamless wth spiced pears and quince paste tones to it. So very delicious, and still so young, this was barely coming out of its awkward adolesence. It would be a real treat to taste it in 10 years' time when I suspect it will begin to approach its peak. Absolutely wonderful. What a beautiful pairing with the apple tart and vanilla ice-cream as well - just heavenly. 94-95.
