Saarburg Rausch TBA 1 Versteigerung, Weingut Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken 2005

(Geltz-Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Auction) AP: 01 06. This auction TBA has yet to be released by the Estate but will make quite a stir when it will! This staggering golden-colored wine starts off with warm yeasty bakery scents. These give way to some pear, orange, pineapple, grapefruit, cinnamon jam and dried fruits. Searing acidity hits the richly sweet palate marked by an intense oily structure with plenty of honey, date and raisin and brings an incredible Eiswein-styled tension to the experience. The grandiose finish is endless and almost painfully intense. This stunner of an effort defies all benchmarks and, in its Eiswein-TBA style, a reference. Lovers of acid will not be able to lay their hands off this. This acidity makes it one to ideally enjoy over the coming decade, even if it will last for longer. But what a stunning off-the-chart effort! Now-2025+
