Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese No. 9 Zwischen den Seen (fruchtsüß) 2015

Lobenberg: Unglaublich saftig, herzhaft und sehr süß, Zwetschgen pur und blitzsaubere Finesse im Hintergrund. 98-100/100

-- Parker: Aged for 18 months in stainless steel, the 2015 Trockenbeerenauslese No 11 Welschriesling Zwischen den Seen is precise and spicy on the concentrated yet highly refined and even subtle nose. Rich and nobly sweet on the palate, this is a lush and highly elegant as well as finessed Welsch with really fine tannins and a lovely freshness. The acidity is vital but integrated, and the wine has remarkable balance even though the residual sugar weighs in at 313 grams per liter. Bottled with 6.5% alcohol. 96/100

-- Falstaff: Mittleres Gelbgold, Silberreflexe. Zart rotbeerig unterlegte Botrytiswürze, ein Hauch von Dörrzwetschken, dezente tabakige Note, gelbe Tropenfrucht und Orangenzesten im Hintergrund. Saftig, süße Ananas, gelber Apfel, sehr gut eingebundener Restzucker, der von einer vibrierenden Säure gekontert wird, salzige Nuancen im Abgang, noch ungemein jung, sollte nun zumindest eine Dekade heranreifen dürfen, um sich in seiner ganzen Pracht zeigen zu können. Hat Weltklasseformat. 98/100

-- Suckling: This is so rich and so silky with a stunning intensity of dried yellow fruit and underlying, luscious sweetness. Yet, somehow, there's a certain delicacy, too. It's impossible to describe the myriad spicy nuances of this opulent wine; they will show better when it has more bottle age. Drink in 2020. 98/100

-- Galloni: The 2015 Welschriesling TBA (Nummer 11) is rich and viscous in the glass, with real textural plushness wrapped around orange jam, spice, leather, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco flavors. Naturally, the Nummer 11 is one of the more opulent wines in the range, but it has the frame to handle all of that intensity. 96/100
