Rheinhessen, Germany
This wine is impossible. Thor's barbells balanced on a tightrope with a dancing bear on the other end. Such power. Such grace. Intoxicating, concentrated peach and nectarine sorbet are matched with lime and tangerine sour rock candy. White tea, jasmine, and honeysuckle flowers effuse. Everything is staggeringly intense, but the wine really kicks into 5th gear when the heady saffron and porcini Botrytis-driven aromatics hit. I don't even care that I'm mixing metaphors, but it's a peacock in full show. Take a sip and watch the nuclear-powered laser of the wine's acid seamlessly resolve the lush texture given by the wine's hundreds of grams of residual sugar. I had no idea TBA could have a dry finish, but here we are. I would love to see a tech sheet for this wine. One of the most unbelievable, amazing wines I've ever tried.
