Tasting notes
The Lieser 2019 Niederberg Helden Riesling Auslese is more intense but also finer on the nose than the Spätlese, displaying fully ripe but healthy fruit aromas and a light tone of weathered slate. Rich and juicy on the palate, this is a voluptuous, sweet and elegant Auslese with a lot of unfermented sugar and 7% alcohol. The finish is piquant, salty and very fine. Keep this wine for 5-10 years before drinking it. Tasted from AP1820 in May 2020.

AP number 18 20. TA 8.7 g/l, RS 103 g/l. Big, tender and juicy with lots of ripe fruit though I don’t see any botrytis character. Not the tensest example and a rather powdery finish at the moment. Pretty assertive acidity. Sweet and sour for the moment though doubtless it will all resolve itself. (JR)
