Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer) 1999: A typically pale, green-golden wine here. Great elegance on what is an expressive nose, full of honeysuckle, blossom and minerals. There's no disappointment with the palate, which follows on with a combination of concentration, character and freshness. Classic lime flavour on entry, but through the midpalate there is more of a pear and stone fruit profile, together with a delicious, mineral, steely yet floral character. This all sounds a little hard, but in fact there is a lovely weight, a rounded mouthfeel, and fine acidity. Delicious stuff. 17/20 AP Nr: 3 551 083 14 00 (25/2/02)
