WTN: 2005 Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett (Saar)

Zilliken has been reputed to have made one of the best collections in the 2005 vintage, and to judge by this wine it's true.

This is bracing in a way that many 2005s are not, as well as effusively fruity, minerally, and long, long, long on the palate. Just delicious, and because it has tons of concentration it's 200% better on night two than it was on night one. Let this one rest in the cellar for maximum enjoyment, or just plow through a bottle tonight for sheer fun appeal.
