  Grapefruit, lemongrass and tangelo nose with an ever so slight top note of wet stones. On the palate this displays elegant fruit in a very slender package--there just isn't enough acidity to keep this vigorous and thus exciting. While certainly well made and very pure in its expression of Riesling (I'd give a hypothetical 87+ score on that alone), the lack of acidity fails to round this off and offers a rather run-of-the-mill, Riesling-through-a-straw experience. I don't see this one holding for very long, and my wife's assessment that it tasted a great deal like some of the questionable botrytis notes of 2006 has me thinking this wine may very well suffer if held as long as some of the better examples of 2006 Mosel spaetlese. Drink up. (Did not pair well with Jamaican-style bass and chickpea octopus salad--fruit overwhelmed the bass, but the jerk seasoning seemed to give the wine some lift and length in the finish. We were glad to see some redemption for it at the table. However, it was neutralized by the salad: Neither good nor bad.)
