Muller-Catoir Haardter Herrenletten Grauburgunder Auslese

Very nice. Soft cork like in other review but no obvious problem with the wine. Well balanced, but just lacks the racy-ness of a great MC auslese.

Huge fruit shot through with plenty of lifting acidity gives a sense of brilliant purity and silky texture in the mouth. Followed this over several days and it peaked on day 3, really amazing for …

medium golden color, nose of honey, fruit carries through with intense flavors on the palate. slight acidic tang on initial attack, followed by creamy smoothness and long finish
