This was a truly remarkable wine. Together with the TBA that followed, these last two wines were head and shoulders above anything else we tasted on the day. This had an amazing nose - super honeyed, with notes of golden syrup and barley sugars, along with dancing stone fruit aromas and a little touch of caramel and almonds at the sides. Beautiful, but the palate was even better. Rich, intense, melting, unctuous - everything you would expect from a BA from a strong vinatge - with a creamily textured river of peach and nectarines, pear and apple, sweet lemons and grapefruit, all flowing through the mouth, pushed inexorably forward by a wonderful stream of acidity. The balance was incredible - vibrant, dancing, full of nervous energy, yet ever so graceful. This was a quintessential Mosel noble wine. It was a wine that had profound depth, with a beautiful round honeyed goodness and lusciously delicious fruit, yet there were such beautiful lines to it so that it was always precise, focused and complete - impeccably balanced all the way into an amazingly long finish. Still so young, yet already with so much going on. This is one of those wines that can boggle the mind and bring tears to the eye. If you should be so lucky to own a case, it would be great to crack one bottle open very 2 to 3 years and follow is evolution over the next couple of decades - I think this will drink beautifully at every stage of its life. 96 points rated by WXTP
