A beautiful auslese, well-defined and complex. Everything is in the right place as the apricot, Golden Delicious apple, spice and mineral flavors unfold on the seamless profile. The finish is long and tasty. (BS)

This is the first auslese I have ever had the pleasure to taste from the Felsenberg, and it is a beauty. The bouquet offers up a stunning blend of white cherries, pink grapefruit, classic and stunning Felsenberg minerality, and developing notes of petrol. On the palate the wine is medium-full, deep, pure and elegant, with a great core of candied fruit, and a very long, profound and stunningly mineral finish. Great juice. (Drink between 2010-2030)

Pale golden yellow. Musky peach, a floral nuance and a hint of licorice on the nose.Smoke and honey give way to a spicy acidity on the palate. Well-balanced, vivid auslese, showing an almost salty minerality on the finish. (JPB)
Notes
According to importer Terry Theise: "Less a leap to another level than a widening and deepening of the Spät. Botrytis brings an iris note, but it extends the minerality and lengthens the string of nuances; it’s firmer, more determined, but not sweeter. SOMMELIER ALERT! SOS: 2 (12-32 years)"
