Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Reviewer, Pierre Rovani - Sweet oak, botrytis, and jellied apricots emanate from the glass of the 2000 #9 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen den Seen. A diabetic’s nightmare (6.5% alcohol, 347.8 grams residual sugar/liter, and 7.6 grams/liter total acidity), this full-bodied wine slathers itself onto the palate, revealing syrupy layers of jellied peaches and spiced dried apricots. It has unbelievable power, density, and length. Projected maturity: now-2045.
Wine Spectator
Luscious and ethereal at once, mingling honey and grapefruit notes with a creamy texture and bright structure. Well-integrated and moderately sweet, with a finish that lasts and lasts. Drink now through 2010. 130 cases made.
