Brauneberger Juffer Auslese Riesling
Mosel, Germany
1994; Decanted 3H.
Prior notes apply, but more of a viscous tangerine/honey note on this particular bottle. Always amazing!
Probably the best vineyard site in all of the Mosel.

Bright brass color. Intense nose features burnt honey, acid-infused dried apricot, and clean slatey minerality. Not that sweet but beautifully balanced and intensely mineral. Long, refreshing finish.

Jan 26th, 2020On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our Pops conductor Keith Lockhart is leading a live-to-picture performance of Star Wars: A New Hope, a showing of the classic 1977 film, with the Orchestra performing Mr. Williams’ iconic score.
For live-to-picture productions, the orchestra performs the entire movie score in real time as the film unspools. (Vocals, dialogue and effects are isolated from the original music track.)
Generally we get to hear Star Wars scores a couple times per season here at Tanglewood, but tonight we get a chance to hear them with the backdrop of the movie (Episode IV) that launched a franchise, to say the least!
I celebrated another full trip around the sun, since my coming into this world, earlier this week. Tonight my wife, some dear friends and me will be enjoying some enticing wines along with our movie night. So notes...maybe, but I'll try!

German/Austrian wine night in Great Barrington, MA; 2019.
Dried orange/lemon peel on the nose, pineapple juice, crushed rocks, cold caramel, apricot. Very weighty on the palate, reduced green apple, tangerine? Crazy!

Passed quickly and not much time to savor...ripe pineapple, vanilla, stones.

Dec 27th, 2018Ridiculously complex nose. Crystallized ginger, honey, earth, beeswax, some sort of floral perfume, ethereally light in the mouth. Great balancing acidity. Wonderful long finish.
