2005 St. Urbans-Hof Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Auslese
A good friend brought out a bottle of this last night, and it showed very, very well. I expect that it was farther along than might have been, as it did not come from a pristine cellar. All that being said, the wine was a delicious mix of ripe tropical fruit, a touch of honey and a distinct note of black tea. As a combination it was magnificent. Ten years of age brought the sweetness into harmony with the lower '05 level of acidity, such that the wine was in a perfect place for drinking on its own, and with our subtly spiced Indian meal.
