"Analytically marginally higher in Oechsle at harvest; botrytis content; residual sugar; and acid than the corresponding A.P. #8, Zillikensâ auction cuvee 2010 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Spatlese A.P. #7 â representing one thousand-liter fuder â offers a very different personality. Sharpness â though, to be sure, also invigorating citricity and vivacity â from high acid is threaded into a dense matrix of dried quince, peach, and white raisin. Musk melon, cherry jam and blood orange â along with the latterâs bittersweet rind â emerge as this takes on air; while lift and lusciously lingering fruit demonstrate that this wineâs authors have achieved their stated goals of delicacy and a relative balance of sweetness . . ."
