A late addition to the night when the last thing we needed was more juice. From a 375. This has nice fruit and acidity. A step down from the powerful d’Yquem next to it, but nice none the less.

Intense nose of ripe tangerine, nectarine, apricot and mango, dried pineapple, marmalade, orange oil and a hint of creaminess. Soothing on the palate, not enough acidity for this vintage but still very very enjoyable. From 375 ml bottle.

Gentle, restrained, classic #Saar #Riesling from one of its very best properties...great structure from a rather soft vintage...perfect to drink now.

Still energetic, with dark brooding aromatics and a finish that lasts a lifetime

Tastes like it could be the current vintage. Not super high acid but very fresh nonetheless. Should have a long time left in it.

Lovely way to finish this tasting with only red wines. Lots of patrol at first but vanishes over time. Somewhere between off-dry and sweet, lacks a bit of acidity & complexity which is typical for this hot vintage. Will not improve imo.
