oh the dangers of storing a stelvin on its side...opened by accident as i was trying to turn the bottle to see the label. this wine is delicious. it is creamy in the mouth with pit fruits and citrus. the finish lingers for over a minute. although auslese, it paired perfectly with spicy thai. i'm glad I had an accident.

Riesling can be amazing. This wine is like strawberries and cream. No wait, it has a apple backbone. No wait, there's orange notes. It's rich and elegant, syrupy sweet and tangy, and is only better on days 2 and 3. I also like DS's "salted caramel" note. Yup. Delicious. The finish falls off but also persists. Great stuff, wish I had more. Oops, I should have mentioned that this started out rather fizzy, so decanting in the near term is recommended for dinner service.
