Tasting notes
White raisin and pungently spicy aromas. In the mouth this displays a compact fruitcake-like melange of dried dates, white raisins, brown spices and marzipan. This enormously concentrated wine-the first at the estate to have been designated BA gold capsule-was just bottled and is almost inscrutably dense. 1 star.

Loads of botrytis, dusty minerals, grass, and smoke are found in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Riesling Beerenauslese Oestricher Lenchen. Medium-bodied, dense, and jellied, it exhibits botrytis-dusted apricots and white peaches whose sweet flavors linger in its long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030+.
