"Thomas Haag and his extremely talented Cellar Master, Philippe Veser, made stunning 2006ers. As this was a vintage that was so loaded with botrytis in the middle Mosel, it is not surprising that their 2006 Helden Burg Beerenauslese is a brilliant wine, but even with my great expectations for this wine, I was still struck by how brilliantly light on its feet this wine is for such a boatload of noble rot! The gloriously ethereal nose offers up a magical mélange of apple, fresh fig, lime zest, petrol, beeswax, honey and a lovely, esthery topnote of bee pollen. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and absolutely bottomless, but with glorious, racy acids, laser-like focus and stunning length and grip on the perfectly balanced and very light no its feet finish. Stunning juice!"
