2005 Trockenbeerenauslese Grande Cuvée No. 7 | 0,375l

Nothing really sticks out in the 2005 #7 Grand Cuvée Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague, a wine that is first and foremost about total balance. The style is rich, layered and sumptuous. Apricot jam, cloves and orange peel are supported by lovely beams of acidity. I am not sure the 2005 will improve materially from here, but it might very well keep at this gorgeous plateau for a number of years. Today, it is striking.

Rich glazed apricot and pineapple flavors fill this fruity dessert white. Concentrated spice and glazed mango notes carry through to the creamy finish. Drink now through 2018. 312 cases made.

The bright amber-colored 2005 Trockenbeerenauslese No. 7 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague opens with a pure and clear, fascinating, precise and elegant, slightly balsamic bouquet of stewed apricots, leaves, salt and pepper. On the palate, this is a super clear, refined and elegant TBA with ripe and lush fruit, fine tannins and vivacious, saline acidity. Light caramel notes and dried apricots on the finish along with candied orange zest and tea tones, also mushrooms (porcini). 10% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
