  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  *** brief impression from Auction, no serious tasting note ***
  Drunk 3 times. This wine is already close to perfection and I can’t imagine how mindboggling it will be at full peak (which will be in about 30-50 years …). Very complex, concentrated and deep nose. Awesome perfume! On the palate it is unbelievable: precise, deeeep, complex with layers of flavors, perfect balance, mouthcoating without cloying and a never-ending finish. This is very close to perfection 98-99

  *** brief impression from Auction, no serious tasting note ***
  Beautiful wine, but to me it seems as a declassified Auslese. Very concentrated and viscous. Great elegance and beautiful clear fruit. Lots of Sulphur at the moment. 94+

  Another unbelievable Auslese! Awesome nose, great fruit and clean botrytis, will be even better when the Sulphur has gone. On the palate very pure and lightweight, perfect acidity, great tension, airy, perfect balance and harmony. Very long! 96-97

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  *** brief impression from Auction, no serious tasting note ***
  This one is different from the other gold cap Auslese. Very lean, linear, precise and focused. Great finesse and elegance. You need to focus and listen to this wine, but then it will tell you a beautiful story that almost never ends… 95-96

2017 produces wines on a very high and consistent level. To me a bit of a combination of 2015 (Acidity) and 2016 (elegance).
