Parker about Niederberg Helden Riesling Beerenauslese 2006
The 2006 Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Beerenauslese represents an aromatically pungent but complex and not at all blatant expression of botrytis, with citrus peel, brown spices, and distilled fruit notes, mingled with yeasty hints of fresh bread. Quince, white peach, and pineapple dominate on the silken, subtly caramelized, custardy-rich and viscous, yet light, and wonderfully pure palate, where a savory, meaty, truffly undertone lends intrigue. Density, purity, complex botrytization and yet inviting primary juiciness of fresh fruit mark this remarkable, persistent Riesling, another that should easily weather 3-4 decades.
