1995 Carl von Schubert Maximin&nbsp;Grünhäuser Abtsberg&nbsp;Riesling
Trockenbeerenauslese

Combine one of the world’s truly great
vineyards, a marvelously gifted producer, the world’s most noble grape
variety, good (but admittedly not great) weather conditions, plus a ton of
botrytis, and you’re pretty well assured to taste something magnificent. The 16
hectare&nbsp;Abtsberg&nbsp;vineyard is the best section of the Maximin Grünhäuser&nbsp;site (the
estate, a former monastery, sits at the foot of the south-facing slope), the
wine of which was once reserved for the abbots.&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://allgrapes.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads%2F1447039567308-1995+TBA+Von+Schubert+-+Copy+%282%29.JPG"> The 1995 TBA is a tour de
force: a wet and cold August and September gave way to what was up until then
the warmest October since 1985, and thus the Oechsle degrees went through the
roof. Dark amber-brown, with super-concentrated aromas and flavors of
caramelized sugar, peach nectar, smoky botrytis, and aromatic herbs plus a hint
of volatile acidity that are penetrating and deep. The finish goes on and on;
the harmonious acidity keeps this super-sweet beauty dancing on your palate.&nbsp;98/Drinking Window: 2015-2050.<img alt="" src="https://allgrapes.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads%2F1447039609798-1995+TBA+Von+Schubert+-+Copy+%281%29.JPG">
