Tasting Notes

Representing a thousand liters of wine offered on the estate's regular price list, the Zilliken 2007 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule A.P. #3 reflects the accumulation of shriveled, botrytized berries in the clusters in its enhanced viscosity and its suggestions of honey, caramel, and white raisins, along with pink grapefruit, dried apricot, and pineapple. The nobly sweet side of this wine contends on the palate with a bright citrus side. This lacks the alluring texture, lift, or focus of the A.P.#4 Auslese, but it's early days for a wine that finishes strongly and will surely be giving pleasure still a quarter of a century or more from now.
