SAARBURGER RAUSCH GK. AUSLESE 2015 TWO STAR

SALE

97+ Parker points
Stephan Reinhardt rates the wine with 97+ Parker points and writes 2017 in the Wine Spectator: "The 2015 Riesling Saarburger Rausch Auslese ** Goldkapsel displays clear, intense, concentrated and perfectly ripe (stone-)fruit that does not show any hints of botrytis (but a single new barrel) although the grapes were partly botrytized yet perfectly sorted. Rich, round and lush like a Spätlese but finessed and elegant like a top class Auslese, this is an intense and creamy textured Rausch Auslese with an endless flow of very fine Riesling juice intermixed with lemon juice. The acidity is super fine but fresh and vital, and there are even very fine tannins that probably come from the Burgundian pièce that was blended with the 1000-liter stainless steel vat. This is a crystalline Auslese with clear and perfectly ripe fruit and a long, complex finish."
