40th anniversary tasting (L'Esprit du Vin - Axelborg): My notes from this fantastic gigantic tasting are in general extremely short (because of the many wines) but with ratings. We spent a whole day tasting and tasting quality wines.
This wine: An impressive Mosel-house. I scored almost all the cuvees 90 and above and many of them in the mid-1990s. This cuvee is more concentrated than Abtsberg Riesling Auslese 2019. I prefer the latter but both are outstanding.
[26 19] Tasted next to the standard Abtsberg Auslese [36 19]. Some botrytis here, concentrated, ripe, floral, spicy. Good acidity and lift, very mineral, really well balanced. Lingering, persistent finish. Excellent. 93-94+
