2014. Light petrol/rubber interplay, with black lime, lime pith and smoky cherrywood, graphite, underripe pineapple, igneous rock dripping with lemon. Sweet pineapple, lemon essence infused into lemon marmalade and emerging profoundly drier. Lime reduction, candied kalamansa with an ethereal distillation of floral and mystery citrus admixture.

#riesling #sonnenuhr #auslese #drloosen incredibly pure aromas of honeycomb and ripe pineapple. The problem with this wine is that it's lacking complexity and length on the finish. I was hoping for so many more tertiary notes on the palate and more body. Slightly "light" or "watered down" auslese — 9 years ago

It's pleasant. It's lacking a little bit of complexity and depth for an #auslese but the price is also reasonable considering it's from #mosel and #juffer — 10 years ago

#Keller "#Hubacker" #Riesling #Auslese*** Another tropical fruit explosion! Passion fruit, mango, pineapple with a touch of citrus peel. "Sleeping Beauty" in a bottle... it defies description. THE BOMB or as KP puts it... DER OBERHAMMER!!! #Rheinhessen — 10 years ago

1959 Auslese for how much?! There is something truly unique and precious about a wine that has never left its place of origin... it's what some call provenance.
This now defunct #Rheingau estate was at this time on top of its game and produced some of the finest #Rieslings from #GrandCru vineyard sites in #Eltville and #Kiedrich. Eltviller #Kalbspflicht Riesling #Auslese from Jacob Fischer Erben was so fresh and lively that the closet guess was 1976!
Where else can you find such a phenomenal wine from an awesome year that is pushing 60 years of age for $250 in a restaurant???
NOWHERE!!! #JacobFischerErben #GermanWine #Rieslinglover — 10 years ago

Vintage 2016 A winegrowers life is full of challenges. The grapes for this wine were harvested very late, it was meant to become an #eiswein #icewine but there came no frost 🤨 so it became an #auslese. It is a God drink with impeccable balance and a frivolous smell with peach and apricot! #ahr Great effort! — 8 years ago

A sweet finish to a great #LA #wine tour! Very subtle amounts of #botrytis that give this sweet little baby years and years of aging potential supported by a fine core of ripe acidity--2013 was an excellent vintage on the #Mosel and this gem is just one of many examples of how great the late-picked Rieslings turned out. #ClemensBusch #Rothenpfad #Riesling #Auslese #Rieslinglover — 10 years ago

#2006 #Kasel #Nieschen #Riesling #Auslese #Goldkapsel--over the past year or so we've been opening numerous 2006s, remaining in our stocks, and we've been very pleased with their developments. The once-domineering #botrytis has become beautifully integrated, and they are showing a very attractive harmony between acidity and sweetness... the hallmark of any great, age-worthy #Riesling. The one aspect I found so beguiling with this 2006 was its subtle elegance and grace like a pretty ballarina. — 10 years ago

#Keller "#Morstein" #Riesling #Auslese --off the charts!!! Made from tiny, shriveled berries: very pure, clean, early botrytis... honeyed tropical fruit flavors expand in your mouth... passion fruit city... pour this on your lover! #Rheinhessen — 10 years ago

Here we have one of the very finest #Rheingau estates, which is consistently producing pristine #Rieslings and doing so by 100% #organic/#biodynamic farming methods. This #2012 #OestrichLenchen #Auslese #Goldkapsel is a marvel of richness and structure... an impressive array of ripe flavors enhanced with delicate amounts of #botrytis that stood up beautifully next to our chocolate/rhubarb #dessert! — 10 years ago

I don't know if this is the exact same #auslese that I drank, but the one I had was killer. Beeswax quince and kerosene. Light delicate flavors, pronounced flavor intensity and full body. Incredible #riesling #germanwine — 10 years ago

One of the most impressive middle #Mosel late-picks imaginable--HELLO--did someone say "#BEERENAUSLESE"???
You bet. Yet it's an #Auslese... with immense concentration. Perfectly balanced between ripeness, concentration and acidity... the ultimate #Riesling poetry. A butt-kicking triumph and an #auction cuvée at that! #GransFassian #Trittenheim #Apotheke #longgoldkapsel #2005

WOW! This declassified #Auslese is such the #botrytis bomb... packed with layers of luscious caramel and creme brulée flavors that linger decadently on the palette. Had this with fois gras at The Village Pub last week and it was an extraordinary pairing! #2006 #SchlossSommerhausen #Sonnenuhr #Spätlese

Here is a perfect example of how well Riesling ages... a magnificent bottle packed with layers of luscious ripe jammy notes and supported by a firm core of electrifying acidity. Drinks beautifully now but can go another 20 years if necessary! #HansLang #HattenheimerHassen #Riesling #Auslese #Rheingau #1975
