Schloss Lieser 2001 Niederberg Helden Auslese ***

I didnt try this on release, but based on its current state this is developing at a glacial pace. At 17, there is very little hint of secondary development. There is waxy mango on the nose and liquid honey, with a funky/smoky core underneath (botrytis?). On the palate, the acid and sweetness are perfectly in balance. And it goes on and on with amazing length. From 375.
