2019 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett Geltz Zilliken, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2019 Rausch Riesling Kabinett is intense yet refined and lofty on the nose. Round and sweet on the palate, with a touch of oak, this is a textured and mouth-filling Kabinett with good concentration and nice salinity. This is more lush and concentrated than the Saarburg Kabinett but, at least for the moment, not more Kabinett. 8.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 05-20 in April 2020. - Stephan Reinhardt, Aug. 2020

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2019er Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit picked at 91° Oechsle, and was fermented to almost sweet levels of residual sugar. This wine offers a stunning and tell-tale nose made of white peach, a hint of mint, cucumber, some white flowers, and a touch of whipped cream, all beautifully integrated into some smoky reduction. It is breathtakingly well balanced on the peachy and floral palate, and leaves a gorgeously engaging feel in the long and juicy finish. A touch of cream and apricot blossom adds persistence and some Spätlese Schmelz to this absolutely gorgeous fruity- styled wine. What a great success! 2029-2049. - Mai 2020
