2004 Riesling Schlossberg Cuvee Ste Catherine L'Inedit

Picked on October 28, bottled with 28 grams of residual sugar and aged 12 years now, the 2004 Riesling Schlossberg Cuvée Ste Catherine L'Inédit! displays a beautifully matured and very elegant bouquet of toasted butter, dried apricots, ripe nectarines and peaches. Rich, intense and elegant on the palate, with a lush sweetness, but also a nice bitterness from the tannins. Also with some refreshing minty flavors, this is a great food wine (think of lobster!) and it should still be great in 20, 30 or even more years.
