2001 Weingut Karlsmühle Kaseler Nies'chen Riesling Auslese Lange Goldkapsel - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (8/7/2016)
Last night was the perfect time to drink this wine. Of course I first had to get at it. The cork came out fine, but there was 1/4 inch thick plug of tartrate crystals that I had to shatter in order to get any wine to pour.
Once I took care of that and let the crystals settle I took a pour. The wine was a lovely golden color, and the aromatic mixture of spice, nectarine, lime and dried leaves was a perfect expression of mature Auslese. Still quite sweet on the palate, the wine was a good match with our spicy Thai curry, and also a lovely after dinner wine where it served as a dessert.
If you have this wine I would recommend opening one, as it's in a great place.
