  Solid Spätlese which was a great companion to light spring desserts. Aromas of (stewed) apple, honey, pear and apricot. Lighter body, well balanced acidity and sweetnes, not very long.

  2006 Weingut Reinhold Haart Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese (Germany, Mosel ). AP 07 07, 8 pabv. Re-tasting of fresh bottle from Coravin/le Taster, same source; first bottle had been frozen, but was able to score 3 more at the original source, so one more is sacrificed in the name of science:
  
  Orange green of adolescent botrytis. Plenty of TDN, showing accompanying honied caramel, burying the primary fruit aromas and not revealing what's to come. The wine is light-auslese level sweetness and punch, with most of the goodies and minerals tied up in the citrus complex. Finish shows sufficient fruity acidity to encourage a good future, and is quite expansive, actually, A great example of a firmly excellent Mosel Riesling wine in a sulky adolescence. Very much, originally, of the style and quality of the 2015; in addition, a couple days in the refrigerator under argon brings the wine into a very nice harmony with itself and makes it deliciously gulpable, even. Confirms my impression that this vintage can make relatively Baroque-styled, 1976 botrytis driven wine, that can take me back into the '80s when my palate was thoroughly corrupted by drinking such things. Drink 2020-2030. 93/100 RPP.
  
  Theo Haart and family and colleagues are owed a huge debt for the renewal of the highest-level wine-making in this, one of the world of Riesling's greatest parcels, despite all efforts to destroy it by cheapening and over-commercialization by those who knew better, or should've.
  
  12/21/2012: Opened Coravined bottle after 3 months in refrigerator. Lovely cherry-caramel and thyme honey nose with a whiff of petrol in this gold-green, richening-color wine. Sweet orange peel and lime with a hint of malt; still in balance to sweetness but a little drier than the younger wine recalls; very juicy and with an energetic minerality now tamped down as the inner fires come around. 92-93; lovely; I think last bottle went over to the wedding on 12/09/17. Not a bit of burning on my disrupted mouth's mucous membranes; a cancer patient's dream for a lovely wine. Drink now.

  AP 7 07; 8 pabv. $42/750 ml; Dorothy Lane Market, Oakville, OH. Cellars International, Inc. Coravined several times, and cork pulled at about 3 weeks.
  
  Bottle accidentally frozen after the first Coravin. Impression was that it was of a level with the 2014. Now:
  
  Tanned bronze. Very pleasant somewhat aged TDN, peach, and tobacco smoke. The house sweet spätlese style, almost an Auslese, but not quite juicy enough for residual at this point; was better I think the first go-round with the Coravin. Lemon and honey finish. Typical creaminess of vintage, but lacking the clarity of the best Mosel wines. Hard to judge its future. 90?/100, making due allowance. Should be re-tasted if a chance presents itself.

  Mild duft av mango, pasjonfrukt og noe som kanskje rett og slett er melk eller youghurt. Lett og frisk i munnen - svært delikat. Snev av bitterhet i ettersmaken.
