2004 Dönnhoff Schloßböckelheimer Kupfergrube Riesling Spätlese (Germany, Nahe)
From the glacial cellar there is barely a whiff of development to this wine. It's still a very pale yellow, and smells of ripe peach and faint cherry with rusty mineral aspects in the background. The youthful sweetness has backed off a bit (turned out to be not quite sweet enough for our Thai curry), and it just rolls across the palate until it leaves a bracing hit of acid at the end that refreshes the palate and demands another sip. Lovely.
