Reinhold Haart Goldtröpfchen Riesling Auslese 2009 – 37,5 Cl.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The Haart 2009 Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Auslese #15 reflects botrytis material having been almost entirely pulled out, and the healthiness of the fruit shows in a green rhubarb and grapefruit alliance, balanced against quince preserves, pear nectar, and honey. Some of the sweet floral perfume of the A.P. #13 Spatlese returns in the nose. Mouth-filling and subtly creamy, this at the same time persists in bright, positively tart animation and an uncanny sense of lightness (at only 7% alcohol, yet with 118 grams residual sugar held largely at bay). Look for a quarter-century of delight from this long-finishing beauty.
