Brauneberger Juffer Auslese Riesling 1989

Much better cool and on the second day. Complex nose of honey, slate, mineral, peach, apricot, porcini, spice and wild mint. The palate is juicy, ripe, honeyed and very pure, with good acidity completely integrated into the wine. The finish initially seems short, then unexpectedly returns and keeps changing, although not in an entirely cohesive way. It is like a 30-minute David Lynch film. Strange, compressed, complex and ultimately compelling. Great mature Auslese. — 2 days ago

Best showing yet. I’ve found that southern German Pinot doesn’t age well. But at 10 years this one shines. @Lyle Fass thanks for this. Good stuff. — 5 months ago

Depends on the producer. My Enderle & Molls Buntsandstein & Muschelkalk are fine going back to 2009. I anticipate they will do 20 years with ease.

The more plush and fruit forward ones should likely be drunk younger. The cranberry / cherry fruited / high acid wines should last. E&M, von der Mark, Achim Durr.

we had to let Tobias go as nobody, less a few clients, age the wines and these don’t show well young.

The nose is pleasant rather than transporting, with dosage, creaminess, lime and apricot, while the palate carries the wine: good mousse, nice concentration, peachy-apricot fruit, purity, balance and a clean finish. It’s not trying to rearrange the ceiling tiles. It’s a very well-made, easy summer Sekt that disappears happily. — 17 days ago

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Saar Riesling 2019

Rich and soft, predominantly ripe and candied peach (both natural and peach-o-ring types), was surprised how different it was than the Urziger Wurzgarten of the same vintage. Not as complex as that one but what it has it have it really delivers on. Just a slightly heavier weight and at 7 years may have been even more enjoyable a little younger — 7 months ago

Redemption for a underperforming bottle from our last go at this 1992. If you're buying old wine and didn't anticipate bottle variation, you need to know that's just part of the game. This bottle is fantastic.
(Enjoying alongside the '88 again today, no slouch on that bottle!)

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading Sarah KIRKLAND SNIDER (Forward into Light; BSO Premiere), PROKOFIEV (Violin Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, Opus 63) and DVOŘÁK (Symphony No. 7 in D Minor, Opus 70).
 
Our soloist today Augustin Hadelich rounds out the program with Prokofiev’s intense Violin Concerto No. 2, and Andris Nelsons leads the BSO in Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 – sometimes called the composer's greatest symphony.
