Tasting Notes

Straw Man:
The 2001 Mr. K The Straw Man is a 100% Semillon made in the style of a vin de paille. There is an astonishing 371 grams per liter of residual sugar, with 8.63 grams per liter of total acidity, and a finished alcohol of 10%. It is a wine of extraordinary richness, honeyed complexity, and a finish that lasts over 60 seconds.

Noble Man:
While richer, sweeter, and more unctuous than the Iceman, 2001 Mr. K The Noble Man (Chardonnay), a Trockenbeerenauslese look-alike, possesses nervy, vibrant acidity that is hard to imagine in a wine of this mass and richness. The residual sugar is 255 grams per liter, with an amazing 11.1 grams per liter of acidity, and 11.7% finished alcohol.
