Very intense, candied yellow-grapefruit nose. Super-concentrated, but the most important thing about this Auslese is the incredibly tight focus on the palate and the purity of the dried apricot and mango. Super-succulent and vibrant finish that doesn’t want to stop. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
This Auslese is made with almost 50% botrytised, shrivelled grapes, picked at the same time as the estate’s TBA, indicating ripeness. An outburst of mango, marmalade, apricot and lanolin on the nose. Vibrant green apple acidity, dried apricot and tangerine peel on the palate, honeyed with peppery spiciness on the tip of tongue. Very long with dried pineapple and apricot on the finish. Only 600 litres of this wine were produced in 2015. - SW, Decanter
Fruit and acidity still very embryonic although the fruit is more in evidence on the palate. Just a light suggestion of botrytis and real pristine fruit. Fine boned yet with plentiful sweetness. Very fine and more lifted and refreshing than the average Auslese. - Jancis Robinson
