A Rieslingfeier of our Own; 2/13/2017-2/18/2017 (Traben-Trarbach, Germany): #02-16, 8% abv. 100% botrytised grapes. Very much showing tons of herbs and sweet white fruit. Crisp and pure without coming off too heavy though there is just a slight taste of the botrytis. This was a very, very clean Auslese, so despite the rot, there are no funky or off-flavours here, just lovely concentration.

100% botrytis. Rich, honeyed, spicy, floral with lots of density and concentration on the nose. On the palate layered and rich; wonderful mouthfeel - creamy, generous, ripe, lifted by lots of perfectly well integrated acidity. Very elegant, vibrant and super persistent. Lots of minerality towards the finish. Superb. 93-94+
