2014 - 2029justerini & brooks tasting note
An Auslese straight out of the treasure chamber, the 2009 is in a beautiful drinking spot. Typical smoky notes are emerging with lashings of pineapple, mango and rose petals, as it takes on a creamier feel on the palate. So easy to enjoy, long, haunting and classy. 2009 was a vintage which benefitted from good levels of noble botrytis.
critic reviews
91/100David Schildknecht,Vinous
Pineapple and lemon on the nose anticipate the tang, piquancy and animating juiciness that follow on a surprisingly firm palate. The rapier, energetic finish is blazingly bright, leaving the tongue tingling and a veritable salt crust on the lips. This is definitely not for the faint of heart or the impatient!
