Bright ripe apple on the nose with a hint of orange rind. The palate was very lush, rich with apple and pear that allowed the slate notes to poke through intermittently. The finish was round and long but a bit lacking in acid. This wine seemed more ripe and sweet than I would expect for a 2004 Spatlese, and perhaps this will become better as the fruit mellows. Others liked this better than I.
