Carl Loewen, Thornicher Ritsch Riesling Auslese, Mosel

So fresh and pure. Sugar is totally integrated, the apricot fruit is present but in the backround. Great QPR

Golden color, fresh impression overall. Acidity balances the sweetness very well (especially given the vintage). Orange peel, honey, apple pie. Long, slightly bitter, ending! Very good! Will stay there for another decade. 93-94 pts

Just picking up the oversized bottle and holding it in your hand, you know this juice is going to be something different. Nose Leesy with pulverized grey Slate, hints of burnt rubber, Tingling Lift, robust green Herbal notes with lime flesh and green apple. Good concentration, length with grizzled almost crunchy fruit. Seems to be as much non fruit components, grassy herbals, saline minerality and spiciness as there are fruit of Grapefruit, granny smith apple. Long Finish, grippy. Due to …

Lækker honningsødme, høj syre og god længde.

Citrus peel taste, pamplemousse... Very refreshing citrus aroma, lenght and complexity of an auslese!!

Helder strogeel. In de geur perzik, mandarijnen en mineralen. Elegant en ingetogen van smaak met frisse zuren. Lang aanhoudend. Een jonkie. 89+

Very strong aroma of tangerines. The palate is just a baby (mango and pineapple seem appropriate), but the sugar and acid appear to be very well balanced already. This has to just get better from here.

This wine is getting better and better. Paired again with Thai food again but this time Wondee I in Manhattan. Just the right amount of sugar, pineapple, mango, citrus with a long, long finish. Great stuff and a perfect match with my favorite pad kra prow.

The second bottle showed significantly better than the first. Sticky sweet taste with a hint of minerality on the finish. Just a pleasure to drink. Paired it was awesome Thai from Zabb in Queens, NY. It was a match made in heaven.

Sappy sweet wine with notes of peach and apricot. Moderately long finish with a healthy bite of acidity. I was expecting more out of this wine based on the strong WA review.

German Riesling and Spicy Thai (Spoon Thai - Chicago, IL) : Rich and giving tropical fruit nose. Palate has abundant ripe, candied fruits. Oozes pineapple. A bit one-dimensional today (or at least at this point in dinner!). (4+13+16+7=90)

Terry Theise Tasting 2005 (W) : richer and sweeter, still true mosel but on a couch :)
