2001 Müller-Catoir Haardter Bürgergarten Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Pfalz (3/1/2021)
AP#9, aka #2134

On pace to be drinking one bottle per year, which seems about right given the maturity plateau of this bottling. It's a mature adult in every sense of the word. It has gravitas, it has presence, and there's a depth of character that speaks to age and a bit of wisdom. Still showing a bit of its youthful fruit, though the sweetness has mellowed, and a little more acidic character comes out on the finish - a wry smile, tinged with a hint of irritation. Leave me alone. I have some thinking to do. I've got a good book, and Coltrane is playing. Get lost, unless you are prepared to join me. I'm prepared to sit here as long as you are.
