Von Schubert Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Auslese Nr. 58

Private barbecue (@Private location) : What should I say other than: Thank you Jens for this great bottle! This might not be the most expressive Abtsberg Auslese, but you can feel right from the first sniff: This is Grünhaus at its best! Typical Grünhaus flavors in nose and palate.

Flawed cork open to the atmosphere; very dark in color. Fine acidity but undrinkable. Not rated. $200/700 ml, from PM personal cellar. AP 3 536 014 32--77.
