Beautiful. Focused and dense, with a rich texture and solid structure to push the flavors through the long finish. Apricot, peach and honey notes carry the day. Drink now through 2010. 60 cases made, 25 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Germany / Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Select to Add

This sweet, almost candied, auslese packs in plenty of bright pineapple fruit that turns citrusy. Picks up some hard, metallic-mineral notes on the finish that will please some tasters but turn others off. “Obvious” now, should show better in a few years when the puppy fat of sugar is more integrated. —J.C. ——J.C.(3/1/2003)—— 87
