This was a terrifically flavorful, but not overly sweet, after dinner wine.
Eye: Very light straw color.
Nose: Drop-dead gorgeous nose of apricots, lychee nuts, yeasty bread, and a subtle background note of stony minerals.Mouth: Ripe, rich flavors of buttery apricots and cherries, with earthy straw notes. Auslese-level sweetness. Long, clean finish, with a slow fade of apricot, straw and bread. Not at all tiring to drink, yet with fairly low acidity.
Score: 91.
Cellar or drink? Drink over the next year, as this does not have the intense acidity to ensure much more aging.
Price/store: Got this for about $70 for a full, not half, bottle at Spec's on Smith.
