Thörnicher Ritsch Alte Reben Riesling Auslese

The one and only! Just a genius wine. Nose is super herbal off the bat. A hint of creaminess. Really complex and just stunningly clean and vivid. I love Auslese. Wow what a palate. Engaging and intense. But filigreed and super light and elegant. Sappy and pure. Electric acids and wonderful sappy fruit and just unreal minerality. Finishes dry with a hint of foie gras which is classic Mosel Auslese character. Just a superb wine. Finishes salty, slatey and with lots of lime rock candy. Superb!

@Delectable Wine this is the “Alte Reben.” Thanks. Sick wine. Ludes is a top estate in the Mosel. There is no doubt in my mind. Gorgeous herbs. Super floral. Wow. Just sick. Also ripe apricot, kumqwat and a savory element. Mint, smoke, slate. Just so so crazy complex. Wow. 9.7 for nose. These Auslesen from Ludes are the bomb. Outrageous palate. Wow. Just superb richness and acids. Wow those acids, then sweet lime and rock pulverize your palate. Amazing refinement and delicacy here. And just prodigious acids.
