  Golden colour, showing a ripe, aged riesling with a potpourri of exotic fruit aromas. On the palate almost a bit oily with a nice hint of petrol; ripe and dense exotic fruits again, moderate sweetness, persistent finish.
  Still good, but drink up and hold no longer...

  Light yellow colour with bright golden edge, showing very good aging. Some complex nose showing good character of an aged wines with leather, sweet caramel and toastiness. Round and supple, good weight, some oily structure, hints of sweetness on the attack, with some melon flavour and ends with a clean finish.

  One of the best, perhaps THE best value when it comes to dry Mosel Riesling expressing the unique schistous character of the "Terrassen"-Mosel. Reinhard Löwenstein is the Robin Hood of German winemakers: he fights for genuine, terroir-based wines without any concession to what a globalized market supposedly asks for. The 2004 Schieferterrassen is a dry, opulent Riesling with exellent purity and freshening minerals. This is not very far from the very best (and rare) of Reinhard´s wines, for example Reinhard´s 2002 Riesling Uhlen Laubach, the wine which won the prestigeous »vin étranger de l’année« from Bettane&Dessauve in 2005 (aside of Chateaux Latour as "wine of the year").
