Münsterer Dautenpflänzer Riesling Spätlese 2005

Medium intensity of grapefruit aromas. Sweet, medium(+) acidity. Flavors of bitter grapefruit, minerals and green pear. Long length.

Unusual flavors combined in a very interesting wine. Despite the bitter grapefruit flavors this is an elegant and well-balanced wine. It will be interesting to see how this wine will taste in 5 years from now. Drink now or keep 10-15 years.

Very good
Tasted: 08/2007 (Skurnik Portfolio Tasting)
