The 2002 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese smells of ethereal botrytism and pure honey with candied pineapple and brown sugar, then comes onto the palate supercharged and viscous, bearing an incredible 400 gram load of residual sugar. How does it balance? Resin, malt, and honey mark the long intense finish. In viscosity and intensity – though not in its particular set of flavors – this is like a Tokaji Essencia. Importer pending.
