    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A little less open on the nose, more slate driven, a touch of mint. On the palate a really vibrant acidity is covered with lots of very silky cool register tropical fruit, a touch of pineapple and just ripe mango. Beautifully balanced and showing greater focus and precision than the Kabinett. Charm here over opulence.

    David Schildknecht,
    Vinous
    This auctioned bottling features very ripe peach, mango and Persian melon accented by prickly spiciness of botrytis. A faintly oily, glycerol-rich palate assuages any sharper expressions of noble rot, but the wine finishes with unanticipated verve, penetration and focus, not to mention formidable sheer persistence. Despite its ripeness and tropicality, it boasts even higher acidity than its A.P. #4 sibling; and that reveals itself in the present wine’s sense of animation as well as its uncanny ability to cancel-out the sweetening effect of high residual sugar.
