2003 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese Geltz Zilliken, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Mosel Fine Wines - 2003 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese, Geltz Zilliken

Still bright in color, this wine is all about refinement and freshness, with white peppermint, peach, cumin and whipped cream some of the scents of the elegant bouquet. The wine then moves up a gear on the palate as loads of exotic fruits are delivered through a rich, juicy and almost oily structure. The finish is then more restrained and very clean and smooth thanks to a most refined zesty touch. This tour de force for 2003 is still quite primary and best left alone for another couple of years as it needs to integrate some of its residual sugar. It is nonetheless already a fascinating Auslese GK styled wine. 2018-2038. - März 2013
