2004 Riesling Spatlese Tasting (Shannon's): Aromas of pink grapefruit, white flowers, sage and a slight cattiness. Great juicy acidity and a a little RS all in balance make this a fun and easy to quaff wine. Not terribly complex nor having a great amount of length, it's tasty and unique and brings a lot of smiles to peoples faces.

This bottle is slightly better than the previous one. Grapefruit, lemons, and minerals with decent acidity for the varietal. Still prefer the 2003 to the 2004 rigth now.

Pale yellow. Muted nose of lychees and white flowers. Somewhat reserved in the mouth with apple, grapefruit peel and underbrush. Not as lush as the 2003 version of this wine; the 2004 is more restrained and not as long.
