2002 Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese

[robr]

Most Spatlese Reislings from that area are delicious and have quite a bit of depth. I have been told to avoid any but the Reislings, however, as an inferior but higher yielding type of grape is also grown there (called Muller-Thurgow, or something like that) and these wines are usually quite insipid.

Sometimes they include the names of famously well known towns (like Bernkastle) on the label and can mislead the consumer into thinking he/she is buying the good stuff.
