1/2 This 1999 Pfalz Riesling Beerenauslese was just stunning. But then, I expect these to be immortal, more or less, and exceptional. Dense and seeming very concentrated, it had plenty of depth, but impressive balance too, the acidity easily keeping this fresh and lively. It had just a hint of racy! Of course, it's delicious. A super performance overall, but it's actually a sad tale, wine peeps. (To Part 2 in reply) #wine #germany #pfalz #riesling #beerenauslese #drinks

2/2 It's my own last bottle, so there's that, but also--Philipp Catoir told me they haven't produced a Beerenauslese (typically, 160-200 g/l) in "quite some time" due to "changing weather conditions," i.e., too warm or heavy rain at the wrong time re: creating botrytis. (They WILL produce two Auslesen currently, he said.) We might be nearing the end of the road for B.A. Let's hope not. 10% alc, $50 per half back then. #wine #riesling #germany #pfalz
