2003 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Beerenauslese Versteigerung

Mosel Fine Wines: The nose is initially showing some powerful volatile acidity before opening up to Sauternes-like fruit-driven richness including honey, apricot, acacia and dried mango. The wine is mouth-coating and offers huge dry extract, intense notes of butter cream, orange marmalade, honey and toffee. Overall, the aromatics and structure are not unlike that of great 1976 Middle Mosel wines. It is a beautiful, rich dessert wine.
