Tasting profile
A beautifully balanced Auslese with ripe pineapple and apricot fruit, baked apple, and gentle citrus, carrying just enough residual sweetness to play against a clean, lively acidity. The finish is long and smooth with a buttery, lightly complex character that drinks well now but has the structure to age further.
Synthesized from 31Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Wir schreiben das Jahr 2016 und probieren den Jahrgang 2002. Ausgewogene Säure, leichte Restsüsse, noch vollkommen in Ordnung. Vielleicht zu früh aufgenacht?😊”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From Pfalz in Germany, Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Forster Riesling Auslese is a white.
1,788 other whites from Germany form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 31 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 32 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Forster Riesling Auslese lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · Germany (1,789 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 31.
