  Tasting Riesling at Jos. Christoffel Jr. (Ürzig, Germany): The nose reminds me of apricots baked into a pastry with a dusting of nutmeg. When tasted, it's gentle on contact with acid and fruit rolling in shortly. The pastry on the nose reminds me of a croissant on the palate. Apricots with spice show firmly on the mid palate, and they linger long. The evolution of acidity from beginning to end is marvelous. As it continues through the finish, lime and green apple flavors lighten the sweet apricot flavors. All the while, the croissant crust lingers in the background providing a gentle frame to the lovely fruit. This is spectacular, with many things going on all at once. What a treat!
