Tasted blind. The fruit profile is clearly Riesling and I guessed a Rheingau. Not too far I guess. A little flabby but very rich, ripe and botrytised. Good finish and presence. Just lacks a zing factor. Served well chilled.

Beautiful Wines 2007 Riesling tasting (Yamagawa Japanese Restaurant, the Plaza, Singapore): Yummy. Yellow gold green colour, with little bubbles at the bottom of the glass. The nose was minerally, with wet stone and slate with, if you can imagine, some green moss growing on it. Clean, elegant palate, at once bright with fresh acidity, yet nicely rounded and well balanced with a rich, slightly oiled texture, botrytised tasting dried fruit notes and fresh citrus providing a nice, lithe backbone. Finish was ok, just a little sweeter than here than the acid could support, but a very nice wine overall.
