vinous 2018

Rating: 93 –93

This auctioned bottling represents just half a <em>fuder</em>. (A second gold capsule Auslese, the A.P. #9, representing a full <em>fuder</em>, was sold through normal trade channels.) The nose is greeted by raw mushroom, peach preserves and candied lemon peel. The glossy palate presents a syrupy, slightly sticky impression without the leavening of fresh fruit acids or salinity that feature in other Müller wines of the vintage. For sheer concentrated persistence, though, this is a formidable specimen, and it does memorably deliver that other hallmark of Müller 2018s: a tingling sense of finishing vibrancy. Lucky bidders should lock their bottles away for a while (and perhaps also cross their fingers).

vinous 2018

Rating: 95 –95

The substantial share of healthy fruit that was picked for this manifests itself in brightly fresh white peach and pear, alongside a syrupy element and jellied quince that point toward the nobly rotten portion of the harvest. Rather than a whiff of mushroom, as had been the case with the two “regular” Auslesen of this collection, here there are musky, intriguingly animal manifestations of botrytis. The feel is glossy, subtly creamy, the finish rapier in its penetration and focus, yet setting one’s whole mouth quivering with the vibrant energy by now familiar from other Müller 2018s. I can’t see any reason why lucky owners should insist on deferring the pleasure of this wine’s acquaintance, but I am also quite confident that the wine itself, not just that pleasure, will be long-lived. (A second gold capsule Auslese, the A.P. #11, was auctioned.)
