BYOB dinner and then some; 2/1/2024-2/2/2024 (Avalon, Amsterdam): Although this was a bonus bottle in the line up, it was the WOTN for me. The gorgeously balanced sweetness (100 g/l RS) with the bracingly high (almost H+) acidity, complemented by the great aroma’s and flavors (lime, peach, kardemom) and the never-ending finish, just made it marvelous. No real signs of development yet, this has many decades to go. Happy to have 5 more in the cellar!

Yikes! Wild, fecund, flamboyant. Floral, fungal, diverse citrus and stone fruits, pineapple.... Thick, sweet, buoyant, pillowy, then firm and mineral and deeply cutting. Honeyed and sweet finish, with loads of citrus, spice, earth and herbs. Extremely long finish. Crazy Auslese. This will last forever.

This is just as marvelous as it was back at release. Still no discernable development.

Magical wine. Great balance between sugar and acidity, no overripe stone fruit but pure clean Riesling power.
