  APPEARANCE: Medium to deep gold colour. No sediment.
  NOSE: Ripe and mature Riesling fruit, with ripe peach, sweet almonds, top artisan marzipan, green and yellow orchard fruits. (91-92p)
  TASTE: The arrival is quite rounded, with a sweet fruitiness. On the mid palate it has clearly matured since our last encounter (2015), becoming softer, more supple and sweeter, all the while retaining stony minerality and mouthwatering acidity. Sweet lemons and lemon juice linger on into the aftertaste, which is fairly long. Just the slightest weakness, hardly noticeable, on the mid palate. Delicious stuff. (90-91p)
  OVERALL: A Riesling which has entered full maturity but should still keep and possibly develop for several years (drink until 2025). TOTAL SCORE 91 points.

  11/30/2015 - SAND Likes this wine:

  Nose: Maturing Riesling fruit, with peach, pear and some lime.
  Taste: Initially quite lean, with stony minerality, "green" fruit and rich in acidity. Steely and "clean" Rheingau Riesling. After some airing the fruit evolves, the wine takes on a slight hint of sweet fruit and becomes rounder.
  Racy, steely, high quality Riesling in early maturity - but not for everybody. Needs air. Should drink well and keep evolving fruit/body and soften acidity over the next 3-5 years (drink until 2020).

  light gold colour, delicate texture, perfect balance between fruit and acid with a peach-citrus finish, very good example of a Rheingau Riesling wine, great value wine, not sure if this will improve, great to drink now and the next 2 years

  Fine development on the nose with lime, pineapple, green apple, light petrol and "schiefer". Extremely fresh taste, almost electric. Slightly evolved aromas coupled with an astringent stony acid structure, verging on greenness so typical of the vintage (not a problem in this case). You were a beauty from the beginning and leave nothing but fond memories. Last bottle.

  2004 Terra Montosa was a terrific wine from word go. This bottle has reached "à point" development with some lovely complex aromatics. Ripe yellow peach, vanilla cooked pear, apple pie, light petrol, jasmin, and almonds. So harmonious, a bit richer and fuller than the bottle we had in march, still lively and fresh with a firm acid/mineral spine that shows no greenness. Super enjoyable and rewarding. Had with fried plaice the danish way.
