  Definitely taste closer to a BA so make it an amazing desert wine.
  
  What a wine. Sweet but fresh with intense, still fairly primary fruit. Long life ahead.

  From 0.375. Opened this beauty as a dessert wine after a Vosne-Romanee themed dinner with many top Burgs. All at the table agreed how high the quality of this German Auslese was from the stellar 2001 vintage. Expressive, nose wafting from the glass with complex aromas around quince, apricot, lemon, petrol. Very grand. Excellent acidity on the palate buffering the sweetness. Definitely dessert wine richness here, non need to pay TBA $.
  Robert Weil’s Kiedrich Graefenberg was the first German Riesling I got to know, introduced by Martel Wine in St.Gallen back in the 90ies. And still today, after many years of having tasted all the great names, some of them substantially more expensive, Robert Weil’s Kiedrich Grafenberg Spatlese/Auslese and recently also GG remains one of my favorite Riesling. I also like that they stuck to the iconic baby-blue label.

  Had no intention at all of opening this until I noticed the bottle showed a bit of seepage, and the wine was not entirely clear. Fortunately, there was nothing to worry about. Deep golden core, with an incredibly intense nose of peach and apricot, with just the slightest hint of saffron. Decidedly sweet, but with a magnificent backbone of acidity balancing things out. Man is this primary -- and intense. One of the densest, sweetest, most full-bodied Auslesen I ever tasted (certainly when compared to a 2001 JJ Prum I tried a few months back). This is built like a Mack truck, and will probably last another 50 years. Astounding.
