"From an especially stony section of Paradies, whose nickname MĂŒllen decided to add to the label, this 'two-star' SpĂ€tlese features overripe pear and quince garlanded in decadent lily for a headily aromatic, lush, caressingly creamy palate performance. Fortunately, an influx of fresh lime and an infusion of crushed stone serve for liveliness and counterpoint, and the soaringly buoyant finish reveals myriad mineral nuances, incisive invigoration from raw ginger, and abundant floral perfume. The sense of sweetness here is subtle and entirely supportive, so it comes as a surprise to realize that the wine harbors 59 grams of residual sugar. Obviously it knew what was good for it. 'This just stopped fermenting at that point,' related MĂŒllen, 'and promptly clarified itself as if to say, âOkay, Iâm ready, take me!â"
