Kallstadter Saumagen Auslese Riesling 1993

AP 10. Recommended for those who like sucking on rocks. This one evolved a lot over four hours, in the beginning, very powerful, salty with lime, fresh picked yellow flowers with warmth from orange citrus, sherbert flavors and persimmony- mineral core. Over time, the wine grew more chiseled, developing more tension and great complexity, especially considering this wine as a extremely pure with little botrytis. Minty-thai basil freshness complemented greatly with almost red fruited sweet fruit quality + rich red minerals + spice rack. 10.5% and off dry, this is a style of auslese rarely seen today but for me plays at the highest level. This is what umami means to me. #BerndPhilippi getting it done. — 5 years ago
