Tasting Notes

Smoky black tea wafts over quince preserves and almost overripe pear on the nose and the glossy, subtle creamy palate. Nut paste and a savory meat dimension contribute complexity to this luscious lingering Auslese, but one that - like its Brucke counterpart - does not quite capture the dynamic spirit of the 2010 vintage to quite the extent of its Spatlese siblings, and would benefite (might well, in time) from a bit more focus. Still, this will impress regardless for at least two decades.

Rich golden yellow. Luscious aromas of candied pineapple, lemon oil and acacia honey on a bed of smoky botrytis. The succulent weight of papaya fruit is levitated by crisp minerality on the palate. A fine balance of creamy fruit and herbal spice on the seductive, very long finish.
