"Definitely a sense of botrytis in this backward, concentrated auslese. Lush yet not thick, dense yet transparent and light, it seemingly defies gravity with its apricot, honey, citrus and licorice notes, all seamlessly flowing across the palate. A terrific Riesling . . . . [Only] 15 cases imported."
