Whiffs of crushed slate and smoke add earthy complexity to sweet yellow-peach and pink-grapefruit flavors in this delicate but composed Auslese. Intensely minerally on the palate, it finishes with a fresh, green, floral flair and piercing citrus acidity.

Fairly priced for an auslese of this quality, Nicolay's 2009 from the Bernkasteler Badstube is lean yet luscious, with a wiry frame of taut citrus upon which hang riper notes of ripe peaches and apricots. The finish is long and vibrant, echoing with pure fruity deliciousness.
