Does not smell remotely sweet. Freshly squeezed lemon. And so much lemon on the palate that it tastes, at this stage, more deep cleansing than dessert. Icy ground rocks and lemon peel and monastic severity for an Auslese. Linear. Ignoring everyone. Stern beauty.

Fresh lemon, grapefruit, quince preserves and crème de cassis combine for an attention-getting nose and a polished, rich, but insistently bright and juicy palate. The freshness and invigorating tang of citrus and apple are rare for an Auslese, but quince jelly and candied citrus peels simultaneously project confitured concentration. The seductively luscious finish is more soothing and less dynamic than that of the remarkable corresponding Spätlese, but even longer.
