Rausch Spätlese Riesling

Loved. Lots of Botrytis. Rich and snappy at the same time. Mineral. Apples and pears.

On the sweeter side. Maturing quickly. Drinking nicely now.

Seamless, perfect balance. Reticent in its youth

Absurdly delicious. I've never been to Bora Bora, but this is what I assume it smells and tastes like. Peach pastille, mango, guava, coconut, orchard fruit, and tropical flowers, with just a tinge of petrol in the air. Stunning.

Sulfur a bit too prevent for me, but beyond that, massive peach, kerosine, apricot, apple spice, med + acidity and a long finish. Off-dry.

Smokin' ....such a perfect spot right now.

This bottle was an example of harmony. Outstanding.

Bottled today, 04/07/15.

Salty sour peaches. So good with striped bass in tamarind sauce
