Weingut Carl Loewen Thornicher Ritsch Riesling Auslese, Mosel, Germany 2018 Champagne Francis Verrier Not far off the magicalSuper fine and fresh for an Auslese with dainty flavors of rose apples and rose water, colored by bright dried lemons and limes. The medium sweetness, though perceptible and deep, is hardly a factor in this wine, as its threaded surreptitiously through racy acidity and a bright, lemon pith texture. 96 Pts James Suckling
