Score 94/100 · Mosel Fine Wines

This wine offers a superbly elegant and complex feel of citrusy fruits, a hint of coconut, minty herbs and slate on the nose. It proves medium-bodied on the palate, where zesty acidity provides the right counter-weight to delicately silky and ripe and creamy yellow fruits. A further kick of acidity comes through in the after-taste and livens up the whole experience. The presence and aromatic ripeness are that of a delicately clean and light Auslese. But the finesse and elegance are simply to die for as the wine lingers on long after having been tasted! It is still on the rich side at this stage but will prove a stunner at maturity. What a great effort in the making! Jun 2016, www.moselfinewines.com, Drink: 2025-2040

The 2015 (Saarburg) Rausch Riesling Spatlese (AP #8) has a very clear and slightly flinty nose with very aromatic ripe fruit aromas and some grapefruit flavors. Pure, fresh and piquant on the palate, this is a remarkably fine and frisky, very elegant and persistent Spatlese with fine grip and lingering minerality. Apr 2017, www.robertparker.com
