I presume there would be different AP numbers for each bottling, but is there anywhere one can look this up? AFAIK, the only way to tell what's what is to read the critics and wine boards. I can see where that can present an enjoyable challenge and even an element of intrigue. I was just wondering if there is a more organized way to follow this.

David Glasser wrote:Wow - I see that it does vary quite a bit from one producer to the next, and can be pretty complicated. I'm often unsure about how sweet or how rich a wine will come across - not always linear from Kab-Spat-Aus, and this adds yet another dimension. Sounds like it's best to take it on a case by case basis.

If we go back only as far as the mid 80s or maybe even 1990 many of the perception issues were minimal. A kabinett was a kabinett and a spatlese a spatlese rather than some beerenauslese minus botrytis in disguise...

I.E. there is not just one taste profile to expect from each of the pradikat.
