Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese 2005, SCHMITGES

2005:
A pale golden green/yellow, with a nose of lime, minerals, and with a hint of peach. On the palate peaches and lime; it's rich, with good acidity, and has an initial brief burst of sweetness which recedes to show the fruit. There's a good acid structure and a nice "bite" on the long, rich finish, along with a little spice. This is really a food wine and is still very young - it will benefit substantially from further bottle ageing.
