A: Medium gold [instr. says pale) N: Pronounced intensity. Honey, ginger, saffron, tapioca (botrytis), Mango, pineapple, papaya (tropical fruit) and a hint of vanilla...odd!, marmalade (tertiary) P: Sweet, medium (+) acid, low alcohol, pronounced intensity, full body [medium says instructor] and long finish Acid and fruit concentration with all that lovely ripe primary fruit makes this suitable for ageing. The acid balances the R. The length , intensity and purity of fruit make this an outstanding wine. Pfalz is a warm German region and therefore one expects riper more tropical fruit here than in Mosel.
