As already mentioned, a small amount of stunning Beerenauslese was produced from the Bernkasteler Badstube vineyard in '06 for the first time and is offered now as it is relatively 'open'. "Golden yellow. Apricot preserves, mango and lemon custard float exuberantly over a bed of smoky botrytis on the nose. The unctuous peach fruit and honeyed texture rise above the wine's understated acidity. Very rich but still youthfully closed, this very long wine finishes with a highly refreshing spice character. Lay it down." 96 Points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2008. "Concentrated and pure, this boasts apricot, peach, lime sorbet and honey flavours wrapped in a velvety texture. Lush and elegant at the same time, with a mouth coating presence and a long finish". Drink now through 2040. 95 Points, Wine Spectator, Apr 30, 2008.
