What I'm Drinking...

2006 Bellarmine Riesling Auslese

Publish Date: 24 Sep 2011

Green-gold; seems to be more luscious, not less, than when it was first released, with an array of lime juice, crystallised lime and cumquat. An improbable mix, but turned into an elixir by the acidity then extends through the length of the palate and aftertaste.

This is Mosel, not Rheingau (or elsewhere) in style, and I am a pushover when it comes to a wine such as this. No need for food, but Chinese or fresh fruit would be two very different ways.
