Score 94/100 · Drink 2020-2050, David Schildknecht, Vinous, Apr 2020

Strawberry in both jammy and fresh guise, along with overripe honeydew melon and a cooling infusion of mint, informs the nose and the creamy, delicate palate, joined there by a wafting suggestion of liquid honeysuckle and freesia. A hint of caramel creeps into the billowing finish, but so does an infusion of fresh lime, with a result that is richly multilayered yet transparent to slate underpinnings and downright refreshing in a way Auslese too seldom is.

The 2017 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese is clear, precise and fine on the crunchy/slatey nose. Lush and dense on the palate, this is a concentrated yet clear, refined and very elegant Auslese with good mineral structure and a salty-piquant finish with herbal and floral notes. Gorgeous. Tasted in March 2019.
