JAMES SUCKLING - 93 POINTS Rippling with peach, melon, ripe citrus and white flower aromas, this is that rare beast: a stunning, off-dry, entry-level wine. The scintillating acidity makes it nip nimbly across the barely medium-bodied palate. Wonderfully long, elegant finish with a tingling spritz of natural carbon dioxide that helps it end much drier than it began. Drink or hold.
From John Gilman...I learned on this trip that the superb estate Riesling from Weingut Egon Muller includes a sizable chunk of Saarburger Rausch in its blend, as the estate has a fine parcel in this vineyard that they choose not to bottle on its own. While part of my heart yearns to taste a Rausch bottling from Egon Müller, the realization that a significant percentage of the blend of this fine villages level bottling is from such a grand cru vineyard makes this wine even more attractive.
