Quince and white peach jellies not only dominate the nose, but are vividly evoked on the palate, not just flavor-wise, but because of nearly gelatinous viscosity. An impression of honey buttresses the sense of botrytized concentration and ultra-richness, while a vibrantly and brightly offsetting influx of fresh lemon juice reinforces the resemblance to Eszencia. Brown spices, bittersweetness of grapefruit marmalade and tang and piquancy of fresh peach near the core serve for further counterpoint, even as hazelnut paste chimes in on the side of confiture and confection. The prodigious finish is as layered and at once rich and animating as what went before would lead one to expect. You might well wonder how 350 grams of residual sugar could fail to result in something cloying, let alone permit something as animating and exhilarating as this. But no wonder, given an astonishing 16.5 grams of acidity! (Even the Eiswein from their coolest prime sites, for which the Richters are famous, seldom approach that level.) There were, alas, just 50 liters of this precious and stupendous libation (98) DAVID SCHILDKNECHT
