Botrytis brings compelling complexity here. Singed plum and smoky tea notes weave through concentrated quince preserves. The texture paradox is remarkable: glycerol richness meets pineapple-core acidity that's almost aggressive in its intensity. That tear-inducing grip on the finish, tempered by underlying silkiness, suggests this Wiltinger Braune Kupp will reward patience over 15-20 years.
