This wine boasts a lovely nose redolent of dried apricots and bergamot, with fresh, mossy hints on the background. On the palate, it’s medium bodied, not overly sweet or concentrated but with clean melon and citrus flavors that finish clean and fresh.

On the drier side for an auslese, with the alcohol reaching 10%, this wine features hints of apricot and pineapple marmalade, but there are also less pristine earthy, fungal notes that some may read as complex while others may find them slightly dirty. Crisp and linear on the finish. Drink now–2015.

Pale lemon color. There’s a slightly resinous nose with strong earthy overtones and hints of citrus. Racy, almost tart and a bit jagged across the palate. Moderate flavor intensity of lemon and grapefruit sherbet. Lacks some flesh, and finishes a touch short.

Aromas are redolent of a candy store—cotton candy, watermelon sours and candied apples. The palate is a sharp contrast, dry, austere and a bit thin. A few years in the cellar will help tame the piercing acidity.
