Drinking nicely, does not have the sweetness associated with an Auslese. There is sufficient acid at the end to balance the weight on the palate. Wouldn't not have been able to guess it as Auslese if tasted blind.

Tasted at Epicurus Gourmet. Brief note. Nose is like someone had a major spill at a gas station then proceeded to light it on fire and throw tropical fruits in. Palate was singing with brown sugar and spiced baked apples, canned stone fruits, dried apricots, herbal lemon and super clean slate mineralité. Midpalate is lush yet light on its feet as the searing acidity comes rushing through to the long finish and cleans the palate from the residual sugar. Very graceful and elegant wine.
