Mosel, Germany
2015 vintage. Intriguing combo of botrytis notes and fruits/florals. Apricot, white nectarine, honeysuckle, honeycomb, fenugreek, decaying gardenia, jasmine, yellow apple, poached pear. Very long finish.

In poetic prose, Terry Thiese’s review says nothing beyond this wine being “deeper than terroir.” Not a tangible note or descriptor. Indeed, it is so layered, multidimensional, constantly in motion with intersections of aromas, flavors, textures, and tone. Perhaps the best we can do is capture a snapshot of this spectacular Riesling Auslese in motion.
It’s beautifully expressive and exceedingly generous. A pale hay color and more reserved aromatically compared to the explosive flavor profile. Nose of spiced pineapple, bruised apple, and smokey fumey petrol. Full bodied, well balanced high acid that loses battle to dark buckwheat honeyed notes.
The finish lasts forever. Not satisfying. Not even a little bit.

JL Selbach tasting 11/16/17. Lowest part of Schlossberg. Very sweet abs honeyed great floral nose and sunshine and warmth. Good body abs long honeyed complex finish. Traditional method of picking on just one day rather than passes based on ripeness. Yum.

Pear and rich, ripe stone fruit. Fairly complex. Good intensity and focus. Will be better in 15 years as fruit fades and acidity becomes more prominent I think.
