Jean Fisch & David Rayer (100)The 2017er Scharzhofberger TBA was harvested at well over 200° Oechsle. What is remarkable here is that the wine proves so delicate and elegant despite its huge ripeness. The nose develops stunningly complex notes of greengage, date, marzipan, raisin, and fine herbs all wrapped into great creamy elements. The wine develops a stunningly vibrant yet also superbly creamy feel on the palate, where more date mingles with herbs and spices to make for a surprisingly refined and multi-layered feel for such a “big” TBA. The wine grows in oiliness and presence as it develops on the palate yet always remains focused and refined. It leaves one with a great airy feel of exotic dried fruits, whipped cream and honey in the never-ending finish. This is simply a perfect TBA in the making. |

There is also a delicate aura of raw mushroom. Licks of cinnamon stick and lime zest add to the vibrancy and tactile grip of a severely concentrated finish. This definitely needs some time. |

Wine Advocate (97)The 2019 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Auslese is very clear, refined and flinty on the elegant and subtle nose with its rose petal and wood aromas, similar yet even finer than in the Spätlese to be auctioned. On the palate, this is a piquant, fresh and grippy Auslese with racy acidity that cuts the sweetness and pairs with the mineral backbone of this refined and frisky Auslese. The salinity and piquancy are already exciting yet still nervous and youthful—this should be an extremely buoyant Auslese in 20 years. Bottled with 7.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 7-20 in June 2020. |

Vinous (94)Reflecting a selection of the most perfectly botrytis-inflected bunches from both young and old parcels, this delivers a drippingly luscious yet brightly refreshing meld of almond extract and honeysuckle-tinged honeydew melon and fresh lime. Hints of mint heighten a cooling and transparent impression that took me entirely by surprise given the impression leading up to it. Buoyant and silken-textured, this beauty – of which there are 4,000 liters – finishes with riveting sheer intensity and a shimmering sense of interplay among smoke and stone, melon and lime, inner-mouth florality and saliva-inducing salinity. “I picked these casks out for their having the highest acidity of any in the cellar,” explained Zilliken, “and then vinified a little differently to finish with less residual sugar than usual for an Auslese [for an Auslese of his, that is!] so that it leans more in an elegant Spätlese direction.” |

Vinous (91)This sole Auslese bottling of the present Zilliken collection is dominated by white peach, quince, grapefruit and lime. Like several of its siblings, it is marked by both animatingly bright citricity and creaminess of texture – though here, at least in the wine’s youthful state, the two are a bit at odds with each other. Glycerol conveys an oily feel here as well, and the citrus elements turn zesty and candied in the finish, yet all without sacrificing primary juiciness. “We had as good as no botrytis,” noted Zilliken. “We’re talking here principally about perfectly healthy grapes that were lightly desiccated.” A half-bottle with a bit left in it that had been open for two months came amazingly close in quality to freshly opened one. “I’ve been following this open bottle with some surprise myself,” observed Zilliken, adding by way of explanation that there hasn’t been any point in serving the rest of it since the wine was immediately sold out and he doesn’t want to frustrate his clientele. Here’s a bottling with which one should be patient, though I seriously doubt that it will ever deliver quite the complexity or superb balance exhibited by its two Spätlese siblings. |

Vinous (92)This auctioned Auslese reflects a significant portion of botrytized, shriveled berries and was picked out during the last week of harvest. Quince, gooseberry and apricot preserves are mingled with glazed pineapple and candied grapefruit peel, making for an impression on both nose and palate that is at once rich, tart and piquant. Enormously high (43 grams) dry extract translates into an implacable sense of density, which is accompanied by an almost metallic sheen and a degree of brightness that may find you searching for the gustatory equivalent of sunglasses. The rapier, energetic finish left my salivary glands pumping, my gums and tongue tingling, and the sum of my mouth parts generally feeling wrung out. This formidable elixir is likely to be a long keeper, and I hope it will eventually deliver greater genuine pleasure. |

Vinous (94)This auctioned Auslese introduces a measure of lemon-lime citricity and a primary juiciness that would have been welcome in this year’s auction Spätlese (A.P. #7), and the similar prominence of quince and pear jellies is thereby cut and enlivened. Tangy pineapple core and bittersweet cassis contribute to the wine’s welcome animation, while the confitured orchard fruits take on a lightly caramelized edge and are joined by mango, a familiar feature from upper-Prädikat Zilliken offerings. The palate impression is dense and downright viscous but also seductively creamy in texture, setting up a lovely counterpoint with the fresh and zesty citricity as well as with the hint of resin and tannin from a fairly new fuder. The correspondingly multifaceted finish is vibrantly as well as lusciously persistent. |

Vinous (91)Golden yellow. Aromas of ripe peach, guava and dates, with a hint of spicy botrytis. A cool minerality gives a refreshing quality to the luscious citrus fruit flavors. The finish is dominated by a spicy elegance rather than an impression of weight. |

Vinous (94)Pale golden yellow. Subtle aromas of baked apple, cinnamon and vanilla, with a hint of brown spice botrytis. The creamy, rich papaya fruit is still covered in baby fat, masking the wine's underlying acidity. In spite of its weight, a minerally elegance dominates the finish. This wine has class! |

Vinous (94)Reflecting a selection of the most perfectly botrytis-inflected bunches from both young and old parcels, this delivers a drippingly luscious yet brightly refreshing meld of almond extract and honeysuckle-tinged honeydew melon and fresh lime. Hints of mint heighten a cooling and transparent impression that took me entirely by surprise given the impression leading up to it. Buoyant and silken-textured, this beauty – of which there are 4,000 liters – finishes with riveting sheer intensity and a shimmering sense of interplay among smoke and stone, melon and lime, inner-mouth florality and saliva-inducing salinity. “I picked these casks out for their having the highest acidity of any in the cellar,” explained Zilliken, “and then vinified a little differently to finish with less residual sugar than usual for an Auslese [for an Auslese of his, that is!] so that it leans more in an elegant Spätlese direction.” |

Vinous (91)This sole Auslese bottling of the present Zilliken collection is dominated by white peach, quince, grapefruit and lime. Like several of its siblings, it is marked by both animatingly bright citricity and creaminess of texture – though here, at least in the wine’s youthful state, the two are a bit at odds with each other. Glycerol conveys an oily feel here as well, and the citrus elements turn zesty and candied in the finish, yet all without sacrificing primary juiciness. “We had as good as no botrytis,” noted Zilliken. “We’re talking here principally about perfectly healthy grapes that were lightly desiccated.” A half-bottle with a bit left in it that had been open for two months came amazingly close in quality to freshly opened one. “I’ve been following this open bottle with some surprise myself,” observed Zilliken, adding by way of explanation that there hasn’t been any point in serving the rest of it since the wine was immediately sold out and he doesn’t want to frustrate his clientele. Here’s a bottling with which one should be patient, though I seriously doubt that it will ever deliver quite the complexity or superb balance exhibited by its two Spätlese siblings. |

Vinous (92)This auctioned Auslese reflects a significant portion of botrytized, shriveled berries and was picked out during the last week of harvest. Quince, gooseberry and apricot preserves are mingled with glazed pineapple and candied grapefruit peel, making for an impression on both nose and palate that is at once rich, tart and piquant. Enormously high (43 grams) dry extract translates into an implacable sense of density, which is accompanied by an almost metallic sheen and a degree of brightness that may find you searching for the gustatory equivalent of sunglasses. The rapier, energetic finish left my salivary glands pumping, my gums and tongue tingling, and the sum of my mouth parts generally feeling wrung out. This formidable elixir is likely to be a long keeper, and I hope it will eventually deliver greater genuine pleasure. |

Vinous (94)This auctioned Auslese introduces a measure of lemon-lime citricity and a primary juiciness that would have been welcome in this year’s auction Spätlese (A.P. #7), and the similar prominence of quince and pear jellies is thereby cut and enlivened. Tangy pineapple core and bittersweet cassis contribute to the wine’s welcome animation, while the confitured orchard fruits take on a lightly caramelized edge and are joined by mango, a familiar feature from upper-Prädikat Zilliken offerings. The palate impression is dense and downright viscous but also seductively creamy in texture, setting up a lovely counterpoint with the fresh and zesty citricity as well as with the hint of resin and tannin from a fairly new fuder. The correspondingly multifaceted finish is vibrantly as well as lusciously persistent. |
