Description
“The 2020er Brauneberger Mandelgraben Riesling Eiswein “Limited Edition” is made from fruit harvested with 161° Oechsle at -11°C (12°F) on February 10, 2021, and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers an absolutely stunning nose made of passion fruit sorbet, pear, almond cream, dried fruits, herbs, and fine spices. The wine is richly luscious and sweet on the palate. Layers upon layers of TBA-styled flavors (including dried fruits, almond, raisin, pear puree, etc.) add to the smoothness on the palate. This roundness is then superbly lifted up by some citrusy sorbet zest in the finish. The aftertaste is still dominated by sweetness at this stage but the potential of this TBA-Eiswein styled dessert wine is absolutely remarkable. The most difficult part will be to refrain from the urge to open a bottle in its youth. What a stunning success in a smoother than racy style of noble-sweet wine! 2035-2070.” 97 Mosel Fine Wines
