2006 Schlossgut Diel Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Nahe (5/3/2014)
We are at an in between phase with this wine. The fruit has become somewhat subdued, but bottle aged complexity is not yet prominent. The balance is good, with sweetness and acidity in harmony, and a sheen of botrytis adding a honeyed edge. Overall though I will wait on further bottles for several more years.

I buy most of my Diel on close out. This was one of the few I bought on release. It did open up over the evening, but still better to hold/wait.
