Wine name: Huxelrebe Beerenauslese. Producer: Winzerkeller Leiningerland EG, D-67262 Grünstadt. Vintage: 1998. Appearance very pale amber colour, medium and receding on glass with esters, pear drops aromatics. The attack is lighter than expected and very fruity. Evolution: Pear drops, peaches, apricots, light caramel with a finish which is pear drops and acid drops on swallow, very ripe peaches in nose. Sweetness: 3.5. Acidity: 2.5. Tannin: 0 with a texture which is very soft and silky and the length is excellent. As for balance, it's nicely balanced between light-ish sweetness and acidity. The wine has a waxed cork closure and is 8% abv. Overall, this wine is: Lovely, although it was a little overpowered by Christmas putting. Would be better as a summer dessert wine with something lighter. It's not over-complex, but has beautiful fruit and candy flavours. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 84 points.
