The 2014 Muller-Catoir Haardter Herzog Rieslaner Beerenauslese is a white wine produced in the Pfalz region of Germany, specifically from the sub-region of Haardt an der Weinstrabe. This vintage is crafted by the esteemed producer Muller-Catoir and is made from the Rieslaner varietal. It features an alcohol content of 8.0% and is sealed with a cork closure.

This wine has garnered significant praise from professional reviewers. Stephan Reinhardt, writing for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, awarded the wine an impressive score of 95. Reinhardt describes the wine as "intensely golden in color" and notes its "very intense, super ripe, concentrated, spicy aroma with iodine and caramel aromas, as well as some herbal flavors." The wine's texture is described as "rich and velvety," and while it is "very sweet," it also maintains a "subtle, piquant and finesse-full" character.

One of the standout features of this Beerenauslese is its acidity. According to Reinhardt, "In contrast to Riesling, the acidity in Rieslaner is not reduced with more maturity." The wine contains nearly 14 grams of total acidity, making it "too nervous and young to be enjoyed today." Instead, it is recommended to be cellared for at least another decade to reach its full potential.

In terms of pairing, Reinhardt suggests that this delicate Beerenauslese would complement "dark chocolate and orange dishes" exceptionally well. The long finish of the wine is highlighted by "caramel and smoky aromas," further emphasizing its complexity and elegance.

In summary, the 2014 Muller-Catoir Haardter Herzog Rieslaner Beerenauslese is a highly regarded and complex white wine that promises to develop beautifully with age. Its intense aromas, rich texture, and balanced acidity make it a noteworthy choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
