96 WA "The 2005 Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Beerenauslese displays intense aromas of pear nectar, quince preserves, and apple jelly, foreshadowing a palate that features quince preserve with pear and apple butter with a creamy – indeed almost buttery – texture. At the same time, a juicy refreshment, refinement, and elegance are all hallmarks of this wine, which does not, up until this point, betray its botrytis save in virtue of its extreme ripeness and concentration. Subtle notes of spice and rivulets of honey emerge in a finish of incredible purity, utmost refinement, and almost ethereal delicacy. Indeed this takes the gravity-defying aspect of the best 2005s to a glorious extreme. While doing so might not be proof against your decline in old age, I would lay some of this in my cellar confident of 30 or more years of periodic astonishment and self-indulgence."
