Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Pre-Easter tasting (Private Location): Ripe pear, cider, a touch of acacia, vanilla and a slightly green component on the nose. Also already in the nose a bit of "warmness". On the palate lots of extract, quite voluminous but with a good mouthfeel and also the acidity plays on a good level. On the back end a bit bitter and a bit hot. Got it double blind and never in thousand years thought it could be a Sauvignon Blanc. Interesting to taste.

Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Pre-Easter tasting (@Private location): Tasted blind. Clear, pale golden color. Medium intense nose, not 100% clean with a tiny bit of cellar mold. Ripe pear, a bit musty, acacia, a bit of oak, blossoms, smoke. Quite complex. White Rhone? Dry, medium acidity, quite high alcohol. On the palate quite creamy, lots of extract, good balance, full bodied. Ripe fruit, some floral notes and again a bit of cellar mold. Medium+ finish. Quite young. That should be Sauvignon Blanc? Seriously? Never guessed that. Serious wine, but I guess it was a bit tainted, so no “official” rating. At this stage around 88-89 for me.

Not typical for a Sauvignon Blanc - rather restrained bouquet, but surprisingly intensive and mineralic finish, full bodied, very interesting...only had one bottle but it might be interesting to taste this in 2 years time...

Fullbodied and with low acid, this lacks a bit the thrill of the variety.
