I wasn't entirely happy with this wine. The nose was dominated by creme fraiche and I couldn't get past that creamy, melted butter note. Decent palate of soft, supple fruit, but this one didn't do it for me.

Second wine I brought to Mark's Duck House. It was enjoyable, but lacked the backbone and acidity the food needed. We would have been better off with a 2002 or 2001 with this meal, I think. I'd also brought a Loire 2004 Muscadet (see TN), and it turned out to do a lot better with most of the dishes than this one - surprisingly so, since I almost always prefer Riesling with Asian food.

Great Riesling. Green apple, tropical fruit to the nose. Apple & lime on the palate. Medium finish. Will buy again.

Not as good as the 2005, a bit flabby.
