Green-gold.  A richer, more ripe expression: this is more apples sautéed in butter.  Capacious and a bit advanced.  We think the prior bottle is more true to Fritz Haag.  Now – 2015.

September 2012

Green-gold.   Detailed, suave, lambent nose: slightly floral orchard and citrus fruit, basswood, devonian slate.  Seemingly more verdant on day two: balsam, aloe vera.  A sherbet-butter blend on the palate, rich yet scrupulous: white peach, commice pear, chantilly cream.  Juicy citric cut rather than crisp acidity.  An ore-like minerality.  Detailed, lingering finish: lemon curd and sea salt.  A Spätlese that combines generosity and finesse.  Now – 2022+.
