A touch of cinnamon highlights this auslese, lending some dimension to the peach and apricot flavors. It's a bit drier than most in this category, yet dense and needing time to evolve. Long finish. Best from 2005 through 2015. 1,400 cases made.??–BS??Region: Germany / Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Select to Add
