(2023) Another Grand Cru, this from Sonnenglanz, a south-east slope of limestone at 220 to 270 mtres. This comes from 30- to 50-year-old vines and has 55g/l of residual sugar so a sweet wine. The age of this obvious in the golden colour. Hugely different aromatically to the Misha's version of course, with honey and lime, a hint of butterscotch and plenty of lifted spice and rose petal notes. In the mouth fully sweet, viscous, with a mouth-coating layer of luxurious candied fruit and honey again. Nice, bright zesty lemon verbena to the finish.
(2012) Big, deep, golden colour. Heavy, limpid weight of opulent dried fruit and barley sugar. There's a meatiness too, as well as the glycerine-rich, opulent fruit. Fantastic palate, thick and unctuous, but brimming with fruit that has fantastic depth and creaminess, coating the mouth but not without the acidity balance. Hedonistic.
(2012) Fascinating nose, with some custard and mint, and lots of leafy green herbs - a real note of basil. The palate has sweetness and a huge core of acidity. It is perhaps a little pinched by that acidity, but some toffee and chocolate depth adds intrigue. It is perhaps just a little past the moment when I would have loved it, but fascinating and complex.
