2001 Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese
Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
The Wine
Like being enveloped in a soft pillow of flowers and tale, this Riesling wields its peach, vanilla and mineral flavors on a delicate framework. It?s smoothness hides the underlying acidity, but it?s there. Terrific slate finish. Drink now through 2010.
