  Maybe higher--just not close to ready. No idea why the CT target date is through 2013. I would say 2025,particularly after the 1985 this week and the excellence of the late harvest 2003 Mosel wines. This 375 took 20 minutes to begin to show some subtlety. Had a similar experience recently with a 2003 Donnhoff auslese. These wines are in temporary retreat. So the sugary first note, the slow emergence of acid-driven citrus flavors, the int of tropical fruit mean patience.

  Nice yellow color with a bouquet of pears and raspberry. The wine has excellent fruit that is a little tangy with a delicious and long mouthcoating finish.
