Saarburger Rausch, Riesling, Auslese, 2017
justerini & brooks tasting note
Seemingly not much sweeter than the Spatlese, but possessing far more dry extract and a bright line in limey acidity at its core that provides poise and extra energy. A relatively lightweight but hugely drinkable Auslese of with fine dried pineapple notes, blossom and then honeyed citrus.

91/100David Schildknecht,Vinous
Pineapple and lemon on the nose anticipate the tang, piquancy and animating juiciness that follow on a surprisingly firm palate. The rapier, energetic finish is blazingly bright, leaving the tongue tingling and a veritable salt crust on the lips. This is definitely not for the faint of heart or the impatient!
