This smooth Riesling is delicious and pleasant in taste and fantastic aromatically; not as good as the 2004 version, but still very much worth picking up. The nose is ripe and full with apples, peaches, floral notes and mild citrus aromas. In the mouth, this semi-sweet beauty follows through on the apples and floral tones. There’s a slight citrus zing in the back plate and the finish is short in the mouth, but long in the throat … and unlike most 2005 Rieslings I’ve tried, the tart citrus punch is toned down – making it smooth and ready for early consumption; a perfect addition to your summertime table right now.
