Fruit is perfectly preserved after 10 years. Apples with a hint of cherry, like an orchard in a glass. While the acidity, fruit and sweetness are perfect, it lacked some in complexity.

A beautiful Rheingau spatlese from Spreitzer: powerful floral-citrus bouquet, perfectly balanced on the palate with a juicy, stony complexity you wish you could find more often. One of the best spatleses I've ever had. Drinking very well now, by the way, or you could age it another year or two.

(Spreitzer Winkeler Jesuitengarten Riesling Spätlese) ($33.00) A rarely seen Rheingau paradigm, solid no-nonsense alpha-Riesling as it used to be. Vanilla bean and candied violet yet the wine itself isn’t at all “candied,” albeit it is more lithe and ripply than its normally stoic heavy-footed self. It’s a tall ballerina up on tiptoes to sniff the wisteria, standing on her powerful legs. +

Very nice riesling. Golden in color with excellent balance between sweetness and acidity. Food friendly or great to sip on its own.
