Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese, #20, Haag (Fritz)

Note:

Golden Delicious apple and honeydew melon are mingled on the heady nose with hints of caramel, anticipating the softly ripe and lightly confectionary impression that emerges on a glossy palate, where it is augmented by almond paste. Yet for all of this wine’s candied and nearly overripe fruit aspects, not to mention its sheer sweetness, the finish introduces enough fresh fruit juiciness to refresh, along with an infusion of salinity that stimulates the salivary glands.
