  (Nikolaihof Riesling Steiner Hund "Reserve") ($81.00) Of course this is a first offering. 5 weeks in bottle when I was there, so the muted aromas weren’t surprising. But the palate was suddenly stunning, rather like the great ’05, a cool creamy fruit over a molten core of mineral. You taste the gleam of the mica. The wine gets more forceful with air. An entire Royal Court of Riesling nuance, highlighted by wintergreen and glittering tiny stones. It penetrates every scilla of the soft palate, and it makes you want to leave the table, glass in hand, find some sweet Spring woods, and go walking.
