Saarburg Rausch Auslese Long Goldkap Versteigerung, Weingut Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken 1997

This wine was already auctioned off in 1998. In 2017, the Estate releases a few cellar reserve magnums as mature rarity. Tasted from a 75cl bottle, this wine delivers an absolutely mind-bogglingly complex and attractive nose made of notes of chamomile, mint, honey, dried mango, grilled pineapple and butter cream. The wine is smooth with a very delicate creamy texture and ripe yellow honeyed fruits underlined by a superbly zesty acidity driven by grapefruit on the palate and in the very long and ethereal finish. The fruity presence is astonishingly youthful and vibrant for a 20
year-old wine. What a great dessert wine … to drink by the magnum! Now-2047
