WineSaint
Rich tropical lychee and honeyed quince dominate, backed by warming spice notes. The texture is luxurious but verges on heavy, with citrus pith providing necessary counterpoint to the concentrated sweetness. Compelling intensity, though it sacrifices the lift that makes great Auslese so compelling.
