(97+ points) The 2017 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese No 9 Zwischen den Seen is fresh, precise and concentrated on the spicy nose, with its characteristic lime peel, white peach and apricot aromas. Concentrated, sweet and piquant on the palate, this is a rich and juicy, fine and elegant Welsch with a long and sweet yet refreshing lemony finish. This is a long-distance runner that was bottled with 9% alcohol and 302.1 grams per liter of residual sugar plus 8.7 grams per liter of total acidity. A great wine. Tasted in March 2020.- SR

Impressive dried-apricot aromas with hints of brulee custard, too. Flavors of bergamot and earl grey tea with orange marmalade, building on the fresh, rich and ultra ripe finish. Essence-like concentration with acidity to balance. Drink for two decades.
