From the challenging 2008 vintage in Germany, here is a half bottle Riesling that is surprisingly light on
its feet and was absolutely delicious.
This wine opened up with aromas of citrus fruit (orange-lime,), apple, a
hint of petrol and honey. On the mouthfeel, light bodied (with alcohol coming
in at 7%), excellent balanced layers of creamy Auslese sweetness and lively
acidity. A very long finish with mouth coating sweet fruit, honey and slightly
spicy. An elegant and very stylish Riesling, very much enjoyed by all four of
us who shared this wine with dessert, score 92 points.
Purchased in August of 2010 at Ka De We department store, Berlin,
Germany.
In Canada our labels are in French and English, wish I spoke German.
