2005 G.H. von Mumm Riesling Classic 72 Points
Germany, Rheingau
Faint light lemons with some interesting kerosene and small white flowers trying to peek thru. Could do with a little more acid and sugars on the palate. A standard german riesling without much soul.

Dark purple turning black. Dark plums and mint with dark coffee on the second smells. Big oak. Dark cherries and plums with slight spice notes. Good body with chewy tannins. Seem to get better in the glass. Might have a lil prob on the oak though.
