Starter white, served with goat cheese and fig white pizza. Great pairing, though the wine was a bit simple. Sweeter profile than I was expecting, given how dry the regular 2003 is. Subtle Mosel nose, but I wanted more acidity from this bottle.

Classic expression of Mosel Riesling. Initially comes off very dry with its acidity and slate mineral flavors numbing the fruit. But on the next day when the structure is tamer it's clear that there's just a smidge of sugar in there that rounds at the fruit without giving it any sensation of actual sweetness, a very deft touch. The fruit is ripe and alive with fresh pear and melon flavors and fibrous in texture.
