Saarburger Rausch Kabinett Riesling 2013

Acid. Stone fruit. BBQ chicken. The Germans might not have known it, but they made a delicious match for this KC style BBQ sauce. Mosel wins again. — 8 years ago

Rausch Grosses Gewachs Mosel Riesling 2015

Marc On
9.2

I wasn't a big fan of Mosel GGs in the past. It never clicked between them and me. But the 2015 vintage might change that. Wonderful fruit (lemon zest, grapefruit, white peach and slightly apricot) underlaid with this typical minerality. In the mouth the wine starts quite and then gets louder. Like a Crescendo. More on the elegant & fine side. Long finish and potential to age. — 9 years ago

Saarburger Rausch Spätlese Trocken Riesling 1990

Bright, light golden colour. Smoky minerality creeps out of the glass, seaweed shrimps, deep fruit like grilled lemons, touches of banana and juicy fresh pineapple, too. Very floral, only a hint of metallic rusticity in the back. Also a faint sweetish impression of sauteed carrot or parsnip. Oily mouthfeel, legally Trocken. Refreshing, yet deep and complex.
I suppose this is going downhill very slowly now. But what a surprise...!

Saarburger Rausch Auslese Haltbrocken Riesling 1983

Lots of bruised apple and peach on the nose. Caramel, mango, bits of candy and mint in the palate. Quite high alcohol on the aftertaste, but being paired perfectly with curry walnut salmon it went amazingly well. — 10 years ago

Quite a step up in complexity & depth compared to the Kabi. More exotic flavours like pineapple, mango and lychee mixed with a lot of ripe peach. But you recognize the undertones of minerality immediately.
On the palate this wine has so much tension, extract & what we call in German "Spiel". Amazing balance between sweetness & acidity. Long, long finish. Astonishing life ahead.

Not sure how Riesling can get much better than this for me. Near perfect wine. Incredible balance between acid and sugar with the longest, mouthwatering finish. Like drinking sunshine. — 9 years ago

Saarburger Antoniusbrunnen Spätlese Riesling 1979

Herbal, tropical and very mineral. A whole army of dried mushrooms on the nose. Magestic palate of sunny fruit and still enough acidity present to balance the powerful nose. Drinking wonderfully and was the highlight of the night. 10/10, would do it again. — 10 years ago

Scharzhofberger Spätlese Riesling 2005

Egon Muller IV purports 2005 as arguably the greatest vintage from the Saar in his lifetime. Zilliken echoed the same sentiments as well. The density and concentration here is mind boggling at almost 10 years of age. — 10 years ago

Diabas Rausch Riesling 2015

Marc On
9.2

The "Diabas" is vinified like the GG but with a bit more residual sugar so it couldn't be a Große Gewächs according to the VDP rules.
More round & warm compared to the GG. More "crowd pleasing" imo. Nevertheless a wine with a lot of potential. Think this could be stunning in 5-10 years.
