Tasting notes
Enveloping dried mango, papaya and honey aroma. Enormously lush and dense, but with a stunning drive and brilliance at the super-long finish. In the tradition of the legendary 1971 and 1949 from this producer and it should age similarly well. Drink any time through 2100.

There was no Beerenauslese selected in 2015, but the first TBA since 2011. The golden-yellow colored 2015 Schloss Johannisberger Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Goldlack is clear and open on the nose, displaying ripe but healthy fruit and perfect raisin aromas, along with flinty flavors. The texture is viscous, really noble and elegant, highly piquant and finesse-full; it pairs sheer concentration with purity, finesse and salinity. This is a great, great TBA and surely one of the highlights of Riesling made in Germany. It has been selected with great care, because this is a luxury product. This is one of the finest TBAs I had in the Rheingau.
