Zilliken, Saarburger Rausch, Riesling Auslese 2002

Pale platinum.

Pungent (SO2 enhanced?) apple and nectarine nose.

Broad nectarine and peach flavor, vivid and fully ripe, with obvious sweetness immediately battled by chewy, minerally acidity. Schildnecht's "interplay" of flavor/structure in spades. And it just doesn't end. Still tasting it a minute later, front teeth coated in "mineral" chew. Interesting - a late note of iron.

Very impressive.

Day 3 - No significant change aromatically. Sweet entry ultimately crushed by an avalanche of stones/acidity.
