Ominikaner-Keller Kaseler Dominikanerberg Auslese Riesling

Wow! Out of this world. Hints of mint. Mineral, slate, earth funk. Great acidity beautiful

This was fantastic. Distinct orange peel note. Slightly different profile than last year's bottle. Dan's for New Year's #1.

This is outstanding. A 1976 Auslese which, based on label and cork condition, was rebottled. Incredible concentration and freshness for a sweet white that is 45 years old. A funky, sour note on opening, opens up into an interesting blend of melon, lichi fruit, green apple, vanilla and some vegetal notes. Not heavy on the palate; long finish. Great and unusual. Bottle #1 at Dan's for new year's.

CVed again second time 9/7/17. Same note on nose. Leila hit it on head. It's dill! And stone fruits and hay. Carries through to palate and finish but with an acidic steak. So interesting for a forty year old wine though library wine and color is amazingly young looking with beautiful golden hue. That biting finish however makes me want food. Very long finish. Finally opened 7/25/18. Still an amazing wine. That dill note perhaps due to cellar aging for so long?

Gold w auburn tinge; wet wood, struck flint, sulfur, dog, mushroom; med sweet w low-med acid. Tastes flawed (mercaptan?)

Edit
