2021 Auslese Muskat Ottonel

Strong yellow gold, broad watery rim, initially somewhat volatile acidity, wood aromas, vanilla, a somewhat fluttery bouquet, also appears somewhat rustic on the palate, on the one hand a dense sweetness, on the other hand shows a pointed lemony acidity, yellow-apple flavours, very typical of Chardonnay, medium finish.

Aged for 24+ months in new barriques, the 2020 Tro ckenbeerenauslese No. 2 Traminer Nouvelle Vague is very clear and concentrated on the detailed and saline nose with lemon zest, pepper, lychee and dra gon fruit aromas intermingled with notes of caramel and nougat. Lush and generous on the dense yet fresh and even stimulating palate, this is a very ele gant and remarkably refined yet intense Traminer with a concentrated but mouthwatering finish. There is great precision and finesse here. Try it with foie gras and brioche or drink it on its own. 11% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Lütjensee, Hamburg, in June 2023. To be released in mid-September 2023. 96/100 Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate Kräftiges Goldgelb, Silberreflexe.

Strong golden yellow colour. Intense honey note, fine tobacco spice, juicy stone fruit flavours, a hint of grapefruit zest. Powerful on the palate, juicy nougat tone, white-peppery nuances, some tea and spices, completely coats the palate, an opulent wine that perfectly represents the vintage, great length, very good development potential. The 2004 #7 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese "Zwischen den Seen" displays the glazed pineapple and candied lemon aspects of this variety, beginning with its mouthwatering aromas, continuing onto a palate of startling viscosity and palpable richness, and carrying into a finish whose 246 grams of residual sugar are very much evident, but which still stays succulent and fresh. Time will bring considerably more complexity to this T.B.A., as well as of course slim it down a bit, lower the perceived sweetness level, and bring an as yet subtle note of caramel to the fore.93/100 The Wine Advocate / David Schildknecht
