  Everything integrated, superb balance between acidity and sweetness. Nice length! Stunning right now.

  WFA German First Growths Masterclass + others; 10/16/2008-10/18/2008 (Suntec Convention Centre, Singapore): Similar green-yellow-gold as the other wines, but woah, this had a funky nose. Kirk Bauer, who conducted the class, told us that this was fermented in wild yeasts that grew on the grapes and was usually marked upon bottling by these strange reductive scents. It will take awhile for them to settle down. Right now, it showed a strange whiff of antibiotics, I thought amoxicillin, rather plasticky, rubbery, stinky. Once I got past that though, it really was a lovely wine. Beautiful acidity on the palate, which was richly layered with clean, pure yellow fruit and fragrant flowers. The finish was round and satisfying and well backboned with a nice mierality. I think this will be a beauty when it sheds its ugly duckling reduction.
