It's Haardter than you think

[Thor]

Mller-Catoir 2008 Haardter Herzog Rieslaner Sptlese 20 09 (Pfalz) Huge, huge, huge. Banana cream and raspberry popsicle. Oddly, I mean both in a positive way. Powerful, and in fact a little overwhelming. (3/10)

Mller-Catoir 2006 Haardter Herzog Rieslaner Beerenauslese 14 07 (Pfalz) From 375 ml. Thudding sugar of nearly unbelievable intensity. Huge molten metal paired with grilled pineapple. But oh, so overwhelmingly sweet. (3/10)

Egon Mller Chteau Bel 2003 Riesling (trovo) Corked. (3/10)

Dr. Fischer 2007 Okfener Bockstein Riesling Sptlese 3 08 (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer) Shy for the first twelve hours or so, then blossoming into timidity and overt restraint. Sounds exciting, I know. A lot of dust eventually leads to a petrol-tinged lemongrass creaminess and canned peaches (more about the can than the fruit), but this just isnt very interesting. (3/10)

Those Rieslaners were amazing. Yes, over the top and overwhelming - but absolutely delicious. Now I'm just waiting to see how the '08 Spatlese fares with biryani some time.

You should score on the "goes with biryani" scale.

The '08 auslese was soooo enormous and sweet I have actually been afraid to open the auslese.

Sounds like you should serve it from a Klein bottle.

Adds a whole new dimension to the wine.

Do you mean in four-dimensional space or in the approximation of it made for our commonplace three?

Either, as you fine best serves your glass of late-harvest tautology.
