2011 Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Grosses Gewachs

Here is the John Gilman review:

“The 2011 Rausch Grosses Gewächs is an utter masterpiece in the making and a watershed wine at Weingut Geltz-Zilliken. The brilliant bouquet is a youthful mélange of pink grapefruit, lemon, kaleidoscopic slate tones, a gentle touch of wild yeasts, lime zest and a smoky topnote. This wine is hardly shy of fruit elements, but it is a study in the multi-faceted complexity of Rausch slate. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and utterly pure on the attack, with a great core of fruit, ripe, zesty acids, stunning complexity and laser-like focus on the very, very long and utterly seamless, refined finish. A tour de force of dry Saar Riesling! (drink 2018-2045)” 96 points
