Now at the beginning of its best drinking phase this ripe and well-balanced Mosel Auslese has a lovely honeycomb aroma plus plenty of dried peach and apricot character. Impressive concentration and easily enough acidity and slatey minerality to carry the restrained grape sweetness. Barely off-dry finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair\'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese is precise, refined and fresh on the tropical, finely concentrated nose that reveals a fine botrytis tone with lemon and pink grapefruit aromas. The palate is dense, crystalline, finely concentrated, very finessed and persistently salty, namely on the stimulating finish that is long, refined and tensioned and reveals very fine bitters. This is an extraordinary Auslese that would deserve a Gold Cap. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
