Had next to Thanisch Doctor Auslese 2010 and at outset this was better by a fair margin. See if it holds true tomorrow. Balance is absolutely beguiling and the viscous minerality is remarkable. You have your bike shop rubber, riesling-berries and the slightest of mint. Doesn't come across as overly acidic despite difficult vintage. Fruit is intact and I can't see how this would fade any time soon.

Lovely. I am getting tired of write ups on Zilliken. They are just lovely. Vintage wise - acid is not up there with the best but sufficient for more time in the cellar.

Crisp and citrussy for an Auslese, bright acidity supporting the rich sweetnes. Just a little above my preferred sweetness level.
