2005 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg Riesling Q.b.A. Georg Breuer, Rheingau

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2005er Berg Schlossberg, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is a dry-tasting Riesling (with 5 g/l of residual sugar) made from the Estate’s finest casks from this vineyard. It offers a ripe and big nose made of roasted pineapple, mirabelle, marzipan, coconut, pear, melon, minerals, cardamom, and herbs. The wine proves big and slightly ripe on the palate but leaves a remarkably balanced feel in the intense and more than satisfying palate. The after-taste leaves a touch of earthy spices and phenolic presence. This riper expression of dry Riesling is impressive, and is best served with some hearty or spicy food. Now-2030. - Jan. 2020
