Tasting note
This 2002 Welschriesling from Illmitz should lean toward concentrated orchard fruit, apricot and honeyed citrus, with a fragrant lift above its sweetness. Expect a rich, rounded palate balanced by lively acidity, so the texture feels lush yet defined rather than heavy. The listed peak extends through 2070, and the long horizon to 2087 suggests a finish that may hold its citrus and spice detail over time.
