Tasting notes

AP: 7-89 (Grosser Ring-versteigerung-bottling?). This is closer to auslese in style. Yellow colour. Honeyed nose. At first quite one-dimensional with just a touch wet forest-floor and some gree notes. With air the complexity and minerality grew. Shows more wet forest, minerals and a touch of petrol. Quite sweet in the mouth. Honeyed and powerful. A bit more closed in the mouth than the nose. Some petrol and wet forest. Structure is backing up perfectly with good acids giving appley finish and good length. Very good indeed. Although not as good as the 88 Pulchen kabinett.
